Installation
1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
2. If you are not replacing an existing gauge in the dash, locate a mounting
location for the gauge(s) that provide easy readability from the operator's
position. Verify there is enough workable space behind the mounting
location to install your gauge and make connections if necessary.
3. Cut a hole in the dash for each gauge. Use the chart to determine the
correct hole size.
4. Install the gauge in the mounting hole and check fit.
5. Mount the gauge(s) with the mounting brackets using the split washers
and brass nuts as shown on the next page. Tighten the nuts finger tight
using only 6 inch pounds of torque.
Do not over tighten the mounting nuts. Over tightening the nuts may crack
the gauge housing, mounting bracket or mounting panel.
6. It is recommended that insulated wire terminals, preferably ring type be
used on all connections. Light assembly connections require 6 mm (.25 in)
female blade terminal.

1. Locate and install the pitot tube assembly on the
transom in a vertical position, at least 153 mm (6 in)
away from the propeller blade tips. The intake hole must
also be 38 mm (1.5 in) or more below the bottom of the
hull. Do not place behind any runner or keel, as this will
affect its accuracy.
2. Locate a convenient place above the water line to bring
the tubing through. Drill a 6 mm (.25 in) hole at this
location and pull the tubing through. Use a marine
sealer on the cap plate and draw the plate tight against
the transom using the screws provided. Press the tubing
fully onto the male fitting on pitot assembly. Gasket
cement or other adhesive is not required to secure
tubing to fittings.
3. Run the tubing along the inside of the boat's gunwale.
Avoid sharp turns, crimping, kinking, or other forces that
may reduce the inside diameter of the tubing. Fasten
the tubing at regular intervals with small plastic clips
supplied (again be careful to not pinch the tubing). A
slight downward slope from bow to stern will help avoid
trapping water. Do not coil any excess tubing, as it
should be cut to the desired length.
4. After installing the speedometer in the dash, cut tubing
(leave a small amount of slack) and press fully male
fitting on the back of the speedometer.
