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 four holes in the baseplate line
up with the four holes in the mounting
surface. Also make sure the connectors face
the stern.
c. At each of the four baseplate mounting holes,
place an M10 lock washer and flat washer on
an M10 bolt and insert the bolt into the hole
from below (see Figure 14).
d. Tighten all four bolts until the four rubber
feet are bottomed against the mounting
surface.

Make sure the mounting screws do not
extend further than 0.4" (10 mm) into the
antenna’s baseplate. Inserting the screws any
further will damage the antenna.
IMPORTANT!
Do not block the four small drain holes in the
bottom of the antenna. These drain holes
ensure that any moisture within the antenna
will be able to escape.
