CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION
You have two choices for mounting your 900 Series™ control head:
• Gimbal mounting, where you use a surface on the boat, such as the dash, to
mount the control head so that it can be tilted up or down, or
• In-dash mounting, where you cut a hole in the dash in order to allow the control
head to be recessed into the dash, and the control head cannot be moved after
mounting.
GIMBAL MOUNTING THE CONTROL HEAD
If you are gimbal mounting the Humminbird® 900 Series™, you can pre-assemble the
unit in order to plan the best mounting location.
Parts and tools specific to gimbal mounting are:
• Gimbal mounting bracket and screws
• Gimbal mounting knobs and washers
• Phillips head screwdriver
• 5/16" socket wrench or flat head screw driver
• Hand drill with various drill bits
• Marine-grade silicone sealant.
