Step Three:
Mounting the XM marine antenna.
• Determine whether you will flange (surface) mount your XM marine antenna or pole
mount it on a mast.
• Regardless of how you mount your antenna, identify an area for the XM marine
antenna that affords as clear and unobstructed view of the sky as is possible to help
ensure the best reception of the satellite’s signal. (See Figure #4).
Note:
The antenna cannot be mounted further then 25-ft (7.6 m) from the XM FM
Direct Adapter or the ProTechT water-resistant marine housing, depending on the
connection option chosen (See Step One.) Be sure that the antenna’s cable will reach
the mounting location of the ProTechT or XM FM Direct Adapter.
• Ensure that there is nothing behind or underneath the surface that will be damaged
when you drill the holes to mount the antenna.
Figure #4
To flange mount the antenna
• Use masking tape to secure template #2 to the surface you’re mounting the antenna to.
• Use a 9/64” (0.150 cm = #25) drill bit and drill a hole at each of the outer cross hairs
on the antenna mounting template.
• Prior to mounting the antenna to either the surface of the boat or pole/mast the user
must attach the appropriate adapter (flange or pole-mount adapters) by screwing either
adapter to the antenna using the M4 x 0.7 x 10 Philips pan head stainless steel screws.
