7. Route the antenna cable through the
antenna extension (if used) and out
through the access hole on the side of
the mounting bracket. If an antenna
extension is not used, firmly tighten
the antenna directly to the bracket by
screwing it on. If an extension is used,
tighten the antenna to the extension, and
the extension to the bracket.
8. Begin routing the cable from the antenna
toward the receiver location, using existing
holes in the boat’s hull, along or behind
interior walls below deck, or through a
cabin window opening. Drill new holes
as necessary.
9. When you reach the receiver location, fol-
low these steps to attach the antenna cable:
• Attach the pink connecting shroud
as shown in figure 7.
• Verify that the connector is clear of
obstructions and that the cable is
not kinked, crimped, or chafed.
• Gently push the connecting shroud
over the pink lead on the cradle
until it locks in place.

Note:
Your antenna is equipped with an
adjustable ratchet tilt. The angle may be
adjusted to improve reception, or folded
out of the way when not in use.
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.
