9.
Using the 13 feet of the black antenna wire, cut it in half to make 2 wires the
same length. Strip approximately 1/4” to 3/8” off one end of each wire.
10.
Route one wire through the resistor PCB as shown and trim as needed. Route
the
second
wire through the resistor PCB as shown, solder the two ends in
place and trim as needed.
11.
Install the 680 ohm 1/4 watt resistor in the resistor PCB, solder in place and trim as needed.
12.
Assemble one 1/2” OD cross fiberglass rod to the black starboard center board as shown. Once
the U-bolts are installed, just snug, do not tighten them at this time.
13.
To center up the fiberglass rod, use a tape measure and measure one half the length of the rod
from the end of the fiberglass rod to the center of the starboard center board. Once the rod is
centered, tighten the U-bolt hardware for that rod. Do not over tighten. The distance from the
end of one rod to the U-bolt hardware is 21 inches as shown. From the other end of hat same
rod, it should also be 21 inches to the U-bolt hardware on that side as well. Evenly tighten the u-
bolts in place.
14.
Repeat for the second fiberglass rod on the other side of the starboard center as shown.
