• Secure the included mounting template to the surface at
the chosen mounting location, along the bow-stern axis as
indicated on the template.
2
Determine which of the two mounting-hole patterns indicated
on the template are appropriate for the mounting surface and
drill the four mounting holes using a 15 mm (19/32 in.) drill
bit.
3
Remove the hatch on the front of the pedestal by loosening
the screw and lifting it off of the hinges.
4
Apply the included Petrolatum Primer to one half of the
threads of the four threaded rods.
5
Insert the ends of the threaded rods coated in Petrolatum
Primer into the pedestal, matching the hole pattern chosen in
step 2.
6
Tighten the threaded rods
À
using a 5 mm hex wrench
Á
.
To avoid damaging the pedestal, you should stop tightening
the threaded rods when they no longer turn easily.
7
Install the isolators
Â
over the threaded rods, and push them
securely onto the four raised locations on the bottom of the
pedestal
Ã
.
Mounting the Radar
Before you can mount the radar, you must first select a
mounting location, and prepare the mounting surface and the
radar (
Preparing the Surface and the Radar for Mounting
).
1
Take note of which end of the pedestal you plan to mount
facing the bow along the bow-stern axis.
If the hatch side is facing the bow, you must adjust the front-
of-boat offset on the chartplotter to receive an accurate radar
reading (
).
2
Position the included strap over the antenna, as close to the
pedestal base as possible
À
.
3
Hoist the radar into position, and carefully lower it onto the
mounting surface, feeding the threaded rods through the
holes.
4
From under the mounting surface, place the shoulder
washers
Á
on the threaded rods and feed them into the
mounting surface so they fit securely.
5
Place the flat washers
Â
, lock washers
Ã
, and hex nuts
Ä
on the threaded rods.
6
Torque the hex nuts to 1.5 kgf-m (130 lbf-in. [11 lbf-ft.]) to
securely fasten the radar to the surface without damaging the
radar or the mounting hardware.
