Mounting the Radar
Before you mount the radar, you must review the mounting location considerations and select a mounting
location.
NOTE: The supplied M8 x 1.25 x 60 threaded rods can be used on mounting thicknesses of 5 to 30 mm (
3
/
16
to
1
3
/
16
in.) (recommended). For surfaces over 30 mm (1
3
/
16
in.), use longer threaded rods.
1 If you are not installing the device on a pre-drilled Garmin compatible radar mount, use the included
mounting template to drill four 9.5 mm (
3
/
8
in.) mounting holes.
2 Connect the power cable to the power port and the network cable to the network port .
3 Press the cables into any of the guide grooves on the bottom of the case, and secure them using a cable
hold-down plate .
The cables should be bent or twisted as little as possible.
4 Using the arrow on the bottom as a reference, position the radome on the mounting surface aligned to the
front of the vessel.
NOTE: If you choose not to align the dome with the front of the vessel, you can adjust the front-of-boat
offset after the dome is installed (Setting the Front-of-Boat Offset, page 5).
5 Apply the included anti-seize compound to the threads of the four M8 x 1.25 x 60 threaded rods.
6 Insert the four threaded rods into the mounting holes on the bottom of the radome.
Up to 50 mm (2 in.) of the threaded rods may extend below the radome.
7 Apply a bead of marine sealant on the mounting surface around each mounting hole.
8 Fasten the radome to the mounting surface using the threaded rods , flat washers , spring
washers , and hex nuts .
9 Using a torque wrench, tighten the nuts to 13.7 to 18.6 N-m (10 to 14 lbf-ft.).
