SECTION TWO: Installing and wiring the 957
Page 8 957 Installation Manual, Revision C1
Flush-mounting the 957 When flush mounting, leave at least two and a half inches of
clearance space behind the mounting panel for all of the
cables and connectors.
Flush mounting requires good ventilation behind the
mounting panel. Poor ventilation will cause the 957 to
overheat, which, in turn, may cause the display screen to
darken.
Figure 4 below shows the overall width and height
requirements for flush-mounting the 957. For further details,
see the full-size Northstar 957 Flush-Mounting Template (part
number GT957). This template should be used to drill the
mounting holes and cut the mounting panel in the exact
recommended locations.
CAUTION!
Keep the following safe compass distance from the
957: 1.0m standard, 0.8m steering.
CAUTION!
When flush mounting, be sure to mount the 957 on
a flat surface. Mounting on a curved surface can
break or distort the plastic and break the waterproof
seal.
Do not overtighten the mounting screws; you may
damage the case and compromise its waterproof
seal.
This type of physical damage will void the warranty.
