Mounting the Antenna with the Cable Routed Through the Pole

Before you permanently mount the antenna, you must test the mounting location for correct operation (Antenna Mounting Considerations).

  1. Position a standard 1 in. OD, 14 threads per inch, pipe-threaded pole (not included) in the selected location, and mark the approximate center of the pole.
  2. Drill a hole using a 19 mm (3/4 in.) drill bit for the cable to pass through.
  3. Fasten the pole to the boat.
  4. Thread the pole-mount adapter onto the pole.

    Do not overtighten the adapter.

  5. Route the cable through the pole and connect it to the antenna.
  6. Place the antenna on the pole-mount adapter and twist it clockwise to lock it in place.
  7. Secure the antenna to the adapter with the included M3 set screw Callout number one.
