Screw Mount (recommended)
1. After selecting the mounting location,
hold the solid mounting plate in the
desired position and mark the holes
for drilling.
2. Drill 7/64" starter holes. Applying
masking tape over the area to be drilled
will help reduce splintering of the gelcoat
and fiberglass.
3. Secure base of mount with the stainless
screws provided.
4. To provide a finished look, apply a small
bead of white silicone around the base.
Adhesive Mount (optional)
Note: The adhesive used on the mounting
pad is not easily repositioned when installed,
so please use care when choosing the location
and placing the mount.
1. Clean the mounting surface with the
enclosed Surface Preparation Cleaning
Kit. Wipe with the towelette in only one
direction. Do not wipe the surface in a
circular motion or back and forth. Dry area
with a clean, dry cloth, wiping in the same
direction and then repeat this cleaning
process. Allow to air dry thoroughly.
2. Clean the same surface with the enclosed
Alcohol Prep Pad. Wipe in the same direc-
tion and manner as with the towelette. Dry
the area with a clean, dry cloth, wiping in
one direction. Allow to air dry thoroughly.
Ensure that the surface is at least 60°F.
3. If necessary, warm the ball-joint mount’s
adhesive pad by using a hair dryer or sim-
ilar means. Remove the liner from the
adhesive pad and adhere to the selected
surface. Make sure you accurately place the
pad on the first try since in many cases it
will bond almost immediately. 3M recom-
mends a 72-hour curing time for maximum
adhesion before attaching a load (e.g.,
Delphi XM SKYFi Marine Kit) to the mount.
Note: You can also mount the splash-
proof case directly to a flat surface using
the enclosed extra adhesive pad. Follow
these mounting directions, making sure
you adhere the correct side of the case.

Caution:
Be sure to route the antenna cable and
modulator cords away from controls so they will not
interfere with your ability to control the boat. Failure
to do so may compromise operation of the boat resulting
in personal injury, death, and/or property damage.
Caution:
Never use a commercial heat gun or
paint-stripping gun. This could result in damage to the
unit and/or to your boat.
