Marine Mount Installation
Your Delphi XM SKYFi Marine Kit comes with
a marine ball-joint mount that can be installed
as follows:
1. Attach the splash-proof case to the
ball-joint mount. Use the four stainless
machine screws provided to attach the
mount to the back of the splash-proof case
(see figure 8).
2. Identify a hard, flat-as-possible surface to
allow the optimum viewing position for
the primary user while avoiding areas
that could be easily bumped into by
passengers. This position should be chosen
to minimize glare or direct sunlight on
the display. Do not install the ball-joint
mount where it could block your vision
or access to controls. Do not install the
ball-joint mount on a leather surface.
Also be sure to identify access routes for
the cables, XM Universal Audio Adaptor
access, and antenna cable.
The marine ball-joint mount can be mounted
in one of two ways: it may be screwed in
place using the solid mounting plate or it can
be attached with the adhesive pad. Decide
which method is appropriate, and follow the
instructions on page 13. See figure 9.

Figure 9. Install the mount to a flat surface using either the
adhesive pad or screw mount.
Note:
Extension piece may be removed,
creating additional mounting location options.
A shorter screw is provided if you wish to
attach your mount without the extension piece.
Warning:
Take note of all fuel lines, cables, and
electrical wiring near where you are installing the
antenna to avoid damaging these lines and wiring
and to avoid the risk of injury and or property damage.
Use extreme caution when cutting or drilling around
these areas. Always wear protective eyewear when
using tools.
