Follow these steps to mount the antenna to the
mounting surface.
a. Place the antenna baseplate over the holes
drilled in the mounting surface.
b. Make sure the forward arrow inside the
baseplate points toward the bow and is
parallel to the vessel’s centerline (see
Figure 22).
c. Make sure the four holes in the baseplate line
up with the four holes in the mounting
surface.
d. At each of the four baseplate mounting holes,
place a 3/8" flat washer on a 3/8"-16 bolt and
insert the bolt into the hole from above (see
Figure 23).
e. Secure each mounting bolt to the mounting
surface using a 3/8" shoulder washer, a
3/8" flat washer, a 3/8" lock washer, and a
3/8"-16 hex 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.
f. Reinstall the radome onto the antenna. Secure
in place with the six #10-32 screws you
removed in Step 6a (see Figure 24).
g. Install a protective plastic screw cap
(supplied in the kitpack) over each radome
screw.

You will need to rotate the antenna assembly
by hand to see all four mounting holes. Rotate
the antenna assembly slowly. If it hits a
mechanical stop with excessive force, the
limit switch might become damaged.
