Choose a mounting location that is as free as possible from

including the lockwasher as shown in the diagram, and securely
tighten.
2. Apply a few drops of Loctite 242 Thread Locking Compound
(supplied) to the threads on the Base section’s ferrule. Thread the
assembly of the upper two sections (Tip and Middle) onto the Base
section’s ferrule, and tighten securely.
3. Mount the antenna to a bulkhead or deck using a Shakespeare Style
409-R or 410-R Mounting Kit (each sold separately). Follow the
instructions included with the mount you choose.
