Assembling your ACC-DF-1000 Surface Mount Bracket Follow

Standard Installation:

1. Remove the standard dash mount bracket for the back of the gauge.
2. Install the face and bezel on the gauge making sure it locks on a detent (this needs to be done before placing gauge in housing or the bezel will not lock).
3. Take the white backing off the two green foam pieces and install them just inside of the gauge housing lip (see attached image "Step 3.jpg")
4. Pull the black and red wires through the large hole at the rear of the gauge mount and carefully guide the fuse holder through.
5. Pull the transducer cable through the same hole as referenced in Step 4.
6. Peel the green skin off the foam adhesive pads installed in Step 3 above.
7. Press the gauge into housing making certain to not allow the adhesive pads to touch the sides until the gauge is fully inserted.
8. To aid with weatherproofing in wet environments, you may want to seal the cable hole with silicone or a rubber grommet.  
9. Choose a mounting place on the dash and install the base plate, secure with adhesive vibration damping pad, and mounting screws. 
10. Snap the housing foot into the mounting plate.

For Installations that Require a More Secure Fitment:

1. Install the thick dash extension rod that was supplied with your depth finder display on the threaded rod on the back of the gauge.
2. Drill a 1/4" hole in the center of the back of the surface mount bracket (on the dimple in the back of the housing). 
3. Install the depth finder into the housing as per the steps above being certain to insert the threaded rod through the hole drilled in Step 2.
4. Install the thumb nut on the threaded rod on the outside of the housing. 
5. Before completing Step 9 in the Standard Installation instructions above, apply adhesive to the bracket base before snapping it into the mounting plate (you can also use a small piece of the adhesive snipped from the green foam pieces referenced in Step 3 above).
