1. Planning the Mounting Location
To gimbal mount the Autopilot, pre-assemble the unit to plan the best mounting location.
1. Place one of the 2 neoprene washers on one of the gimbal knobs, and then thread the knob and washer
into the Autopilot housing. Tighten the knob just enough so that there is adequate space to slide the
control head into the openings on the arms of the bracket mount.
2. Repeat step 1 for the other side.
3. Slide the control head into the arms of the bracket mount.
4. Hand-tighten the gimbal knobs to secure the control head to the mount.
5. Place the assembled Autopilot in various locations to determine the mounting location. Consider the
following when choosing a mounting location:
• ake sure there is enough space behind the chosen location to drill a 1” (25.4 mm) hole for
the cables to pass through.
• The chosen mounting area should allow for sufficient space so the Autopilot can pivot through
the full tilt range.
• The mounting location should allow for visibility during operation, as well as easy installation
and removal.
• You must have underside access to the mounting location to pass the cables through to the
surface. Also, make sure that the mounting surface is adequately supported to protect the
Autopilot from excessive wave shock and vibration.
6. Test route the power and accessory cables to your Autopilot mounting location.
• If the cables are too short for your application, extension cables are available. Contact our
Customer Resource Center for information.
• If either cable is too long, you can neatly gather the excess cable and mount it to a secure
location.

2. Installing the Gimbal Bracket
1. After the mounting location is determined, loosen the gimbal knobs and remove the control head from
the gimbal bracket.
2. Place the gimbal bracket in the chosen position on the mounting surface and mark the three mounting
screw locations using a pencil or center punch.
NOTE: M ke sure the side with the single screw hole is f cing forw rd.
3. Set the gimbal bracket aside and drill the three mounting screw holes using a drill bit of appropriate size.
NOTE: When drilling holes in fibergl ss, it is best to st rt with sm ller bit nd use progressively l rger drill bits
to reduce the ch nce of chipping or fl king the outer co ting.
4. Place the gimbal bracket on the mounting surface aligned with the drilled holes and fill the mounting
holes with marine grade silicone sealant.
5. Place one of the #10 washers on one of the #10 screws and then thread the screw and washer into the
gimbal bracket until secure.
6. Repeat step 5 for the remaining 2 screws.
7. ark and drill a 1" (25 mm) hole behind the gimbal bracket (centered, between 1" to 2" from the back)
that will allow you to run the cables close to the bracket.
8. Apply marine-grade silicone sealant around the hole, and on the outside of the grommet.
9. Align the grommet on top of the hole and tap lightly into place.
10. Place the hole cover over the hole and use it to mark the position of the two mounting screws. Drill the
two screw holes.
11. Pass the cables through the 1" (25 mm) hole, and connect them to the appropriate ports on the control head.
NOTE: Be sure there is enough c ble sl ck to llow for the control he d to pivot through its full tilt r nge. Extr
c ble sl ck will lso help with connecting nd disconnecting c bles.
12. Fill the screw holes with marine-grade silicone sealant, replace the hole cover and insert the two #8
screws. Han -tighten only.
