  • Page 22: Attaching The Pole Mount To The Vessel

    Attaching the Pole Mount to the vessel The M3 Sonar PHS is designed to be installed on a vessel of opportunity. However, we recognize that there are no two vessels exactly alike. Depending on the intended use, you may choose either a semi-permanent or a temporary mounting arrangement.
  • Page 23 Attaching the Pole Mount to the vessel – Welding rod or filler metal compatible with the vessel and Weld Down plate material Caution Welding is a dangerous process that can cause burns, eye damage, and exposure to harmful fumes. Always follow proper safety procedures and wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including welding helmet, gloves, fire-resistant clothing, and respirator.
  • Page 24 M3 Sonar PHS Installation Manual Example of Pole Mount attached directly to the vessel: We recommend semi-permanent mounting as the most secure method. However, we understand modifications may not be possible on the available vessel of opportunity. In this case, temporary mounting methods are also possible. Temporary mounting methods include clamping or bolting a board to the vessel.
  • Page 25 Attaching the Pole Mount to the vessel Regardless of how you mount the M3 Sonar PHS, the most important task is to make sure the Pole Mount is secure so that it doesn’t fall off the vessel during use. Note There are many different ways to do this installation, and many vessels have established their own procedures and best practices for this task.
  • Page 26 M3 Sonar PHS Installation Manual If you wish to attach the Pole Mount directly to the vessel, secure the Base Plate to the vessel. Position the Pole Mount’s Base Plate in an appropriate location on the vessel, such as on the gunnel.
  • Page 27 Attaching the Pole Mount to the vessel Position the Weld Down plate in an appropriate location on the vessel, such as on the gunnel. Mark the exact location for welding, and make sure the plate is properly aligned with the Base Plate attachment points. Clamp the plate firmly in place to prevent movement during welding.
