RC435 and RC435i Chartplotters
Surface Mounting the External GPS Antenna
1. Select a suitable area that allows access to the underside of the mount-
ing surface for attaching the mounting hardware.
2. Using the template supplied at the end of the handbook, carefully drill
the two 6mm (0.25in) mounting holes.
3. If the cable is to pass through the mounting surface drill the 19mm
(0.75in) center hole.
If the cable is to exit from the side of the GPS Antenna above the
mounting surface, remove the two plastic tabs (1) obstructing the
cable channel.
Note:
Failure to remove the plastic tabs from within the cable channel
could result in cable damage.
4. Screw the supplied brass studs (2) into the underside of the antenna.
5. Attach the gasket (3) to the mounting surface, ensuring that the holes
match and pass the cable through the center hole or the cable exit
channel.
6. Carefully position the GPS Antenna, passing the studs through the
holes in the mounting surface and secure to the mounting surface
using the thumb nuts provided (4).
