Grounding the Radar
The radar must be connected to the appropriate type of ground using 3.31 mm² (12 AWG) copper wire (not

1 Route a 3.31 mm² (12 AWG) copper wire to a water ground location and to the radar pedestal.
2 Connect the wire to the ground connector (
3 Coat the ground screw and crimp connector with marine sealant.
4 Connect the other end of the wire to the water ground location on the boat, and coat the connection with
marine sealant.
5 Select an option:
• If your radar was not packaged with a voltage converter, no further grounding is necessary.
• If your radar was packaged with a voltage converter, proceed to the next step.
6 Route a different 3.31 mm² (12 AWG) copper wire to water ground location and to the voltage converter.
7 Loosen a screw on one corner of the voltage converter, and secure the copper wire to the screw.
8 Coat the screw and wire on the voltage converter with marine sealant.
9 Connect the other end of the wire to the water ground location on the boat, and coat the connection with
marine sealant.
