Mount the Antenna
Follow these steps to mount the antenna.
a. Place the antenna over the holes drilled in the
mounting surface. Ensure the forward arrow
points toward the bow and is parallel to the
vessel's centerline (see Figure 14).
IMPORTANT!
You will need to rotate the antenna assembly
by hand to see all four mounting holes. Rotate
it slowly to avoid damaging the limit switch.
Be sure to observe the safe handling
instructions in the Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) provided with the anti-seize
lubricant.
b. Apply a thin layer of the supplied anti-seize
lubricant to the threads of the four 1/4"-20
mounting bolts (see Figure 15).
c. At each of the four baseplate mounting holes,
place a 1/4" flat washer on a 1/4"-20 bolt and
insert the bolt into the hole from above (see
Figure 15).
d. Secure each mounting bolt to the mounting
surface using a 1/4" flat washer and a
1/4"-20 lock nut from below. Tighten all four
bolts until the four rubber feet on the
baseplate are bottomed against the mounting
surface and the foam seal is fully compressed.
e. Reinstall the radome onto the antenna. Secure
in place with the four #10-32 screws you
removed on
page
screws with the plastic screw caps (supplied
in the kit).
