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 

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 

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.
