5
Remove the hatch on the front of the pedestal by loosening the screw and
lifting the hatch off of the hinges.
6
Apply the included Petrolatum Primer to one half of the threads of the four
threaded rods.
7
Insert the ends of the threaded rods coated in Petrolatum Primer into the
pedestal.
8
Tighten the threaded rods using a 5 mm hex wrench.
To avoid damaging the pedestal, you should stop tightening the threaded
rods when they no longer turn easily.
Mounting the Radar
Before you can mount the radar, you must first select a mounting location, and
prepare the mounting surface and the radar (Preparing the Surface and the
Radar for Mounting, page 1).
1
Take note of which end of the pedestal you plan to mount facing the bow
along the bow-stern axis.
If the hatch side is facing the bow, you must adjust the front-of-boat offset
on the chartplotter to receive an accurate radar reading (Front-of-Boat
Offset, page 4).
2
Hoist the radar into position, and carefully lower it onto the mounting
surface, feeding the threaded rods through the holes.
3
From under the mounting surface, place the shoulder washers on the
threaded rods and feed them into the mounting surface so they fit securely.
4
Place the flat washers , lock washers , and hex nuts on the
threaded rods.
5
Torque the hex nuts to 1.5 kgf-m (130 lbf-in. [11 lbf-ft.]) to securely fasten
the radar to the surface without damaging the radar or the mounting
hardware.
Installing the Antenna
Before you can install the antenna on the radar, you must securely mount the
pedestal (Mounting the Radar, page 2).
1
Remove the protective cover from the waveguide on the top of the
pedestal.
2
Align the waveguide on the pedestal with the socket on the bottom of
the antenna , and slide the antenna onto the pedestal.
3
Secure the antenna to the pedestal using the included hex bolts and
spring washers .
4
Torque the hex bolts to 0.81 kgf-m (70 lfb-in. [6 lbf-ft.]) to fasten the
antenna to the pedestal without damaging the antenna or the mounting
hardware.
Wiring and Connection Considerations
It may be necessary to drill 32 mm (1
1
/
4
in.) holes for routing the power,
network, or grounding cables.
• When routing multiple cables through the same hole, you must route the
network cable before the power and ground cables because of the size of
the network connector.
• You must apply marine sealant to the hole after the cables are in place to
ensure a waterproof seal.
If you must make the routing hole in a visible location, decorative cable
grommets can be purchased from Garmin or a Garmin dealer (optional).
