Marine Internet Modem (MIM200) Instructions 

Version 1 - 2020 

 

 

Antenna installation 

The antennas include adjustable nylon deck mounts which are able to be adapted to suit 
mounting on many different angled surfaces.  Once the mounts are installed, screw the 
antenna to the mount.  The antennas include a short 30cm fly lead.  When screwing to the 
mount ensure the cable has 

not

 already been connected to the long thick coax lead as this 

may cause damage to the antenna cable.  Once the antenna is screwed onto the mount, you 
can then attach the thicker coax cable to the thinner fly lead.  After ensuring that the 
connection is made and not cross-threaded 

it is

 

recommended to use self-amalgamating 

tape to fully seal and waterproof the connection to avoid corrosion.

   

TIP! 
Leave the rolls of coax out in the sun for a few hours prior to installation.  This will help 
soften the cable and help with routing through the boat.
