Mounting the Radar

Before you mount the radar, you must review the mounting location considerations and select a mounting location.

NOTE: The supplied M8 x 1.25 x 60 threaded rods can be used on mounting thicknesses of 5 to 30 mm (3/16 to 1 3/16 in.) (recommended). For surfaces over 30 mm (1 3/16 in.), use longer threaded rods.
  1. If you are not installing the device on a pre-drilled Garmin® compatible radar mount, use the included mounting template to drill four 9.5 mm (3/8 in.) mounting holes.
  2. Connect the network cable to the network port 1 and the power cable to the power port 2.

  3. Press the cables into any of the guide grooves 3 on the bottom of the case, and secure them using a cable hold-down plate 4.

    The cables should be bent or twisted as little as possible.

  4. Using the arrow on the bottom as a reference, position the radome on the mounting surface aligned to the front of the vessel.
    NOTE: If you choose not to align the dome with the front of the vessel, you can adjust the front-of-boat offset after the dome is installed (Measuring and Setting the Front-of-Boat Offset).
  5. Apply the included anti-seize compound to the threads of the four M8 x 1.25 x 60 threaded rods.
  6. Insert the four threaded rods into the mounting holes on the bottom of the radome.

    Up to 50 mm (2 in.) of the threaded rods may extend below the radome.

  7. Apply a bead of marine sealant on the mounting surface around each mounting hole.
  8. Fasten the radome 5 to the mounting surface 6 using the threaded rods 7, flat washers 8, spring washers 9, and hex nuts 10.

  9. Using a torque wrench, tighten the nuts to 13.7 to 18.6 N-m (10 to 14 lbf-ft.).
