INSTALLATION

Perform the procedures in the following sections to in-dash mount the ONIX® control head.

NOTE: Your control head might not look exactly like the illustrations in this guide, but the control head will mount in the same way.

Determine the Mounting Location

Start by locating a suitable, ﬂat area of the dashboard for mounting. Consider the following to ﬁnd the best mounting location:

Standard Compass Safe Distance: The control head must be installed at least 4 ft (1.2 m) from the compass or other magnetic equipment on the vessel. Also, see your compass installation guide for details.
Interference: The mounting location must provide adequate distance from electric motors or any equipment that may cause electronic interference.
Stability: The mounting area should be protected from waves, shock, vibration, and water.
Visibility: The operator must have a clear view of the screen during operation. Review the visibility in relation to other dashboard equipment, sun, and the operator’s main steering position.
Cover: See the In-dash Mounting Template to allow space for the cover.
Depth: The mounting area should have a depth of 6″ (152.4 mm) to allow space for the control head and cables.
Ventilation: The area beneath the mounting surface should be well-ventilated.
Accessibility: The location should be easily accessible for all cables to reach the ports on the back of the control head.

Planning Depth Space for the Control Head and Cables Cut the In-Dash Mounting Hole

To in-dash mount the ONIX control head, start by placing the hardware on the surfaces where you plan to install them.

Conﬁrm you have the correct In-dash Mounting Template for your control head model.
Review the instructions, measurements, and cutting options on the template before you proceed with the installation.
Tape the template to the chosen mounting location.
Using the template, select the cutting method that is best for your boat:
Drill one entry hole away from the main cut line that is large enough to insert the blade of your cutting tool.
OR
Drill a corner hole away from the main cut line using a drill bit that will create a hole as close as possible to the diameter measurement shown on the template. Repeat for the other three corners as indicated on the template. Use one of the corner holes as an entry hole, or drill an additional entry hole away from the main cut line.
Carefully begin cutting toward the dotted cut line, and continue cutting to the inside of the line around the template.
Test the Mounting Hole: Install the control head in the mounting hole to test the ﬁt. Make adjustments to the mounting hole as needed. Remove the control head and template when ﬁnished.
Thoroughly clean and deburr the mounting hole.

Install the Bracket

Install one nut and one split-ring washer onto each 4″ (101.6 mm) bolt. See the illustration below.
Insert each bolt into each threaded bolt hole on the bracket. Hand-tighten the bolts until they are installed approximately 1″ (25.4 mm) through the bracket. You will fully tighten the bolts in a later step.
install one end cap on the end of each bolt.

Install the Control Head

Carefully lower the control head into the mounting hole.
From under the dash, slide the bracket arms onto the control head. Line up the screw holes on the bracket arms with the screw holes on the control head (see the illustration below and the illustration Installing the Screws).
Install each 3/8″ (9.5 mm) screw using a Phillips head screwdriver. Make sure the bracket stays level and doesn’t block the control head ports. Hand tighten only.
Hand-tighten each bolt until the end cap is ﬂush against the dash (see the illustration Securing the Installation). Do NOT overtighten the bolts.
Using a wrench, hand tighten each nut so the split-ring washer ﬂattens against the bracket.

Installing the Screws Securing the Installation

Route and Connect the Cables

See the installation guides included with each hardware component to install power, GPS, and other optional equipment (transducer, radar, AIS, autopilot, and accessories).
Route the cables to the control head and insert the connectors into the proper ports on the control head. The ports are labeled and the cable connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect installation, so be careful not to force the connectors into the ports.
Hand tighten the screw nut on each cable to secure the connection. Any unused ports should be covered with the port covers to prevent potential damage.
Apply labels to the cables (optional, not included). Use nylon cable ties (not included) to secure the cables and create a clean assembly.
See the Humminbird Operations Manual to conﬁgure the control head.
