Mounting the Antenna with the Cable Routed Through the Pole
Before you permanently mount the antenna, you must test the mounting location for correct operation (
).
1 Position a standard 1 in. OD, 14 threads per inch, pipe-threaded pole (not included) in the selected location,
and mark the approximate center of the pole.
2 Use a 19 mm (
3
/
4
in.) drill bit to drill a hole for the cable to pass through.
3 Fasten the pole to the boat.
4 Thread the pole-mount adapter onto the pole.
Do not overtighten the adapter.
5 Route the cable through the pole and connect it to the antenna.
6 Place the antenna on the pole-mount adapter and twist it clockwise to lock it in place.
7 Use the included M3 set screw and a 1.5 mm hex wrench to secure the antenna to the adapter .
8 With the antenna installed on the pole mount, fill the vertical cable slot with a marine sealant (optional).
9 Route the cable away from sources of electronic interference.
