1. Using the base of the Swivel Mount as a template, mark the
location for the four mounting holes. Drill ¼” holes.	Bulkhead Mounting: SIDE VIEW

Note: When drilling fiberglass, place a wooden backup block behind the surface if possible, to minimize push-through damage.

2.Assemble the Swivel Mount by joining its two sections and securing them with the hex-head bolt, washer, lockwasher and nut (supplied). This joint can be in two positions, according to whether you’re mounting to a vertical or horizontal surface.

3.Attach the Swivel Mount to the mounting surface using hardware (not supplied) that is applicable to the mounting surface.

IMPORTANT: If the thickness of the mounting surface is not adequate to support the antenna under expected stress, a wooden back-up pad (not supplied) should be applied underneath the mounting surface during installation.

4.Assemble the antenna to the Swivel Mount, being careful not to damage the antenna’s cabling, if any.

5.Loosen the wing nut on top of the Standoff Bracket and slide the retainer bar out of the way. Gently place the antenna in its mounting position in the U-shaped opening in the bracket. For 11/8” and 1” antennas, put the appropriate reducing adapter (supplied) in the opening.
