The Style 4187 Stainless Steel Ratchet Mount is a versatile,

free-standing mount with a four-way ratchet design. It can be used

for mounting to vertical or horizontal surfaces - deck or bulkhead -

and adjust to a slanted surface.

The Style 4187-HD is an extra heavy duty stainless steel ratchet

mount for use on high speed boats and with the Galaxy

Style 5399

VHF antenna.

Tools required: As needed to secure mount

to surface, drill and drill bit for ¼” screws;

screwdriver; wrench or pliers

Installation Instructions

Choose a mounting location that is as high as possible, as free

as possible from obstructions, and as far as practical from other

antennas or strong sources of RF. Use ¼” bolts and washers (sold

separately) to attach the mount securely to the surface you choose.

For other types of surfaces, you may need other types of mounting

hardware (not supplied). Be sure to use only stainless steel

hardware.

1. Using the base of the Ratchet Mount as a template, mark the

location for the mounting holes. Drill ¼” holes.

2. Attach the Ratchet Mount to the mounting surface.

IMPORTANT: If the thickness of the mounting

surface is not adequate to support the antenna under

expected stress, a wooden back-up pad (not supplied)

should be applied underneath the mounting surface

during installation.

3. Assemble the antenna to the Ratchet Mount, being careful not to

damage the antenna’s cabling, if any.

For a streamlined look, the cable may be routed through the

hole in the side of the mount. To preserve the mount’s lustre, apply

automobile wax or metal polish.
