Apply Loctite 241 (supplied) to the top of the
four ¼” diameter x 4” long mounting studs
and install the studs up into the threaded
inserts in the antenna pedestal assembly
from the underside of the radome base.
Thread the stud into the insert until it
bottoms.

Install the radome base assembly onto the
vessel by inserting the four mounting studs
through the mounting holes. Assure that
excess cable length feeds into cable

between the radome base and the mounting
surface.

Install a ¼” fender washer and nut to each
mounting stud from the underside of the
mounting surface.

Apply Loctite 241 (supplied) to the threads
of the mounting stud up near the mounting
surface and tighten each of the 4 nuts to 24
in-lb (21 kg-cm) torque [finger tight, then
about ¼ turn tighter] with a wrench. DO
NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
