3.Category I bracket

The SeaShelter3™ Category I bracket has five pre-drilled screw holes to use for securing the bracket to a flat surface. Remove the SeaShelter3™ lid by turning the spring loaded knob on the lid 1/4 turn counterclockwise and pull. The lid will lift away from the top of the base and disengage at the bottom of the base. The lid is tethered to the base to help prevent loss. Pull the beacon with steady pressure from the bracket. It is not necessary to remove the HydroFix™ Hydrostatic Release Unit (HRU) to mount the bracket using four of the holes. For extreme conditions a fifth hole is available when the HydroFix is removed and the ejector spring is deployed. The bracket can be held in place to mark the placement of the screw holes or you can use the mounting template provided. The use of #10 pan head stainless steel fasteners (minimum of ½” long) and ½” washers (not included) is recommended. Make sure that fasteners will not contact any wires or plumbing before drilling pilot holes.
