Pole Mount
First,
thread the
pole mounting adapter
onto
the
mounting pole
or ratchet
base.
Align
the
pole
mounting adapter
so the module will face the bow of
the boat. Install and
tighten
the set screw
into the
pole mounting adapter
and
tighten
it
securely.
This should
prevent
the GPS module from
unscrewing
from the
pole.
Place the
gasket
onto the
pole mounting
adapter.
Now attach the cable to the GPS module and
pass
the cable
through
the
gasket, pole mounting adapter,
and
pole.
Set
the OPS
module on
top
of the
pole mounting adapter
and
align
the four threaded
holes in the module
with the holes in the
pole mounting adapter. Using
the four stainless steel 5 mm screws and lock washers
supplied
with the
UltraNav
II,
attach the
pole mounting adapter
to the OPS module.
This
completes
the
assembly.
If the
pole
or mast
you're using
isn't hollow or if the. hole in the middle of
the
pole
is too small for the
connectors,
use the cable
mounting adapter
supplied
with
your
unit. Thread the cable
mounting adapter
into the GPS
pole mounting adapter.
Then thread the
pole
into the cable
mounting
adapter.
Route the cable down the outside of the
pole.
