3-2 Pole mounting

Note: Do not mount the antenna too high, such as up Positioning tabs a mast, or boat rocking will cause errors in speed and

bearing.

Attach only to 1" (25.4 mm) diameter pole with a thread

of 14 TPI UNB. Thread the cable through the pole mount adaptor.

Position the pole mount adaptor onto the antenna, using the positioning tabs.

Attach with the four srews provided, do not overtighten.

The cable may pass through the pole, or exit the side of

the antenna. Screw onto the pole. Do not overtighten.

Attach to instrument, then secure the cable at regular intervals.

4 Cleaning and maintenance

Clean the antenna with a damp cloth or mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners, petrol or other solvents.

When repainting the surrounding area, cover the antenna with masking to protect from paint. Do not paint the antenna.
