Fitting the gasket tape

Before fitting the display you must fit the mounting gasket tape to the rear of the display, as shown below.

Gasket tape

  1. Starting at the bottom center, affix the gasket tape to the display.
  2. Remove the paper backing from the tape before going around the corners, ensuring that the tape remains tight all around the display, and no air gap exists between display and tape.
  3. When you reach the end, leave a small overlap to ensure that no gap exists between the ends of the gasket when it is compressed.
Note

The supplied gasket tape provides a seal between the unit and a suitably flat and stiff mounting surface or binnacle. The gasket should be used in all installations. It may also be necessary to use a marine-grade sealant if the mounting surface or binnacle is not entirely flat and stiff or has a rough surface finish.
