INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

AUTOPILOT

The autopilot is normally mounted in the

vessel's wheelhouse. It can also be

mounted in a more exposed location,

such as the flying bridge of a sports

fisherman,

(if it is flush mounted and the

rear of the autopilot is protected from

spray).

Select either the bag containing the flush

mount bezel and cutting template, or the

bag containing the mounting bracket and

knobs.

BRACKET MOUNT

!

Position the mounting bracket so

that the front of the autopilot will be easily

visible. There must be a minimum of

three inches (76 millimetres) of clearance

behind the autopilot to allow for cabling.

!

Screw the knobs part way into the

threaded holes on both sides of the

autopilot rear cover. Insert the autopilot

into the mounting bracket, making sure

that the rubber spacer is between the

cover and the bracket, and the plastic

one is between the bracket and the head

of the knob. Tilt the autopilot to the

desired angle, and tighten the knobs

securely.

FLUSH MOUNT

!

Ensure that there is at least five

inches (127 millimetres) of depth in the

mounting cavity to allow clearance

behind the autopilot for cabling.

!

If the autopilot is being flush

mounted in an exposed location, care

should be taken to ensure that the rear of

the autopilot is not exposed to salt spray

or other moisture.

The flush mount bezel

reduces the effectiveness of the sealing

gasket on the rear of the autopilot.

!

Position the cutting template on

the panel where the autopilot is to be

mounted, and mark the opening onto the

panel. Cut the opening in the panel

around the outside of the markings.

To

improve the seal on the rear of the

autopilot, an extra gasket for the rear

cover has been supplied.

!

Unscrew the two large screws

from the rear of the autopilot and remove

the rear cover. Peel the protective

backing off the extra gasket, and

carefully position it on top of the one

already in the rear cover.

!

Apply the protective gasket to

the back of the flush mount bezel.

!

Slide the flush mount bezel over

the autopilot chassis, and replace the

rear cover and screws. Tighten the

screws only enough to slightly compress

the gaskets. Slide the autopilot into the

hole in the panel, and mark the positions

of the four mounting holes. Use the

supplied screws to mount the autopilot.

!

If you have access to the rear of

the mounting panel, the autopilot can be

easily removed from the panel by simply

unscrewing the two large screws in the

rear and sliding the autopilot out, without

having to remove the bezel from the

panel.

!

The autopilot is supplied with a

cover over the remote control receptacle

on the back. If the receptacle is unused,

the cover should be left on. The

receptacle is weather-resistant only with

the cover on or when a plug is connected

to it.

Damage caused by exposing a

receptacle to the elements will NOT be

repaired under warranty.
