3.2 Mounting the remote control panel (master)
The remote control panel can be mounted where desired using appropriate marine grade mounting hardware. For water-
resistant installation, some type of gasketing (neoprene sheet, silicone sealant, etc.) must be used. In all cases, the
remote control panel should be mounted in a protected area. Refer to Figure 2 for mounting and wiring details.
