3.7 Route and connect the coax and wires
Determine the best location for the RG-6 coax and 16 gauge power wires to enter the vehicle, and the location of the satellite receiver and rocker switch. Drill ½“ hole in the roof for the coax and power wires to enter the vehicle. Insert the ends of the 35’ section of RG-6 and 35’ section of 16 gauge power wire into the hole. Be sure to insert the ends that do not have connectors on them. Push coax and power wires into the vehicle.
Using a 7/16" wrench, attach the weather-protected F-connec- tor to the feed-through coming from the dome. First, hand-tighten the connector onto the feed-through until it seats into the rubber seal. Using one 7/16" wrench to hold the center of the feed-through, lightly tighten the F-connector to the feed-through using the other 7/16" wrench. Repeat the above step to attach F-connector on the 35’ cable to feed-through.

Attach the weather-protected power connector from the antenna to the weather-protected power connector on the 35’section of wire. The power connector is directional. Align wire colors and firmly push connector together until latch snaps and secures.

All coax connections must be finger tightened, then given 1/4” turn with a 7/16” wrench.
