2. Construct a platform (wood, steel, or aluminum) of 5-10 mm in thickness referring to the
outline drawing at back of this manual. A mounting bracket for mounting the antenna unit
on a sailboat mast is optionally available. (Refer to page 1-14.) Fasten the platform to
the mounting location. Next, position the base so the cable entrance faces the stern
direction.
Note: When drilling holes in the platform, be sure they are parallel with the fore and aft line.
3. Using the hex bolts, flat washers and spring washers removed at step 1, fasten the base
to the platform. The torque should be between 19.6-24.5 Nm.
Note: Longer hex bolts (M10X25) are supplied with the installation materials. Use them
instead of the hex bolts removed earlier if the mounting platform thickness is 5–10
mm.
