Once you have identified a suitable antenna
mounting site, according to the guidelines
provided in
“Plan the Antenna Installation” on
page 4 , follow these steps to drill the mounting
holes and cable access hole to prepare the site for
installation.
Drill the Mounting Holes
a. Unfold the antenna mounting template
( supplied in Customer Welcome Kit ) and place it
onto the mounting surface. Make sure the
“FWD” (forward) arrow points toward the
bow and is parallel to the vessel’s centerline
(see Figure 8). Tape in place.
NOTE: You don’t need to mount the antenna exactly
on the vessel’s centerline (the closer, the better), but
the antenna’s forward arrow
must be parallel to it.
b. Using a light hammer and center punch,
mark the locations of the four mounting holes
on the mounting surface in the locations
indicated on the template.
c. Drill a 5/8" (16 mm) hole at the four
mounting hole locations. Later, you will
insert four 1/2"-13 bolts through these holes
to mount the antenna.
Cut Out the Cable Access Hole, If Needed
If you plan to route the antenna cables
belowdecks through a hole directly underneath
the antenna, follow the steps below.
a. Using the supplied template, mark the
location of the cable access hole in the center
of the mounting hole pattern (see Figure 8).
b. Cut out the 3.75" (95 mm) cable access hole at
the location you marked in step a. Smooth the
edges of the hole to protect the cable(s). Later,
you will route the RF cable(s) through this
hole and into the vessel.
c. Clean and dry the antenna mounting surface.
d. Peel off the paper backing from one of the
supplied foam seals to expose the adhesive.
Then press the foam seal down firmly onto
the mounting surface, ensuring the hole in
the foam seal aligns with the cable access hole
in the mounting surface (see Figure 8).
