Once you have identified a suitable antenna 
mounting site, according to the guidelines 
provided in Step 2, follow these steps to drill the 
mounting holes and cable access hole to prepare 
the site for installation. 

a. Unfold the antenna mounting template 

(supplied in the Customer Welcome Kit) and 

place it onto the mounting surface. Make sure 

the “FWD” (forward) arrow points toward 

the bow and is parallel to the vessel’s 

b. Use the template to mark the locations for the 

four mounting holes and cable access hole on 

the mounting surface.

c. Drill a 1/2" (13 mm) hole at the four 

mounting hole locations you marked in 

Step 4b. Later, you will insert four 3/8"-16 

bolts through these holes to secure the 

antenna to the mounting surface.

d. Cut out the 3" (80 mm) cable access hole in 

the location you marked in Step 4b. Smooth 

the edges of the hole to protect the cables. 

Later, you will route the data, power, and RF 

cables through this hole and into the vessel.

e. Clean and dry the antenna mounting surface.

f. Peel off the paper backing from the supplied 

foam seal to expose the adhesive. Then press 

the foam seal down firmly onto the mounting 

surface, ensuring the hole in the foam seal 

aligns with the cable access hole in the 

mounting surface (see Figure 9).
