Once you have identified a suitable antenna
mounting site, according to the guidelines
provided on
page 4 , follow these steps to drill the
mounting holes and cable access hole to prepare
the site for installation.
a. Unfold the antenna mounting template
(supplied in the 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 for the four mounting
holes and cable access hole on the mounting
surface in the locations indicated on the
template.
c. Drill a 1/2" (1.3 cm) hole at the four mounting
hole locations you marked in Step b . Later,
you will insert four 3/8"-16 bolts through
these holes from below to secure the antenna
to the mounting surface.
d. Cut out the 2" (5 cm) cable access hole in the
location you marked in Step b . Smooth the
edges of the hole to protect the cables. Later,
you will route the RF cables through this hole
and into the vessel.
e. Clean and dry the antenna mounting surface.
f. Peel off the paper backing from the supplied
foam seal 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).
