V30/H30 in 60 cm Dome Installation Addendum
Prepare the Mounting Site
Follow the same guidelines in the TracPhone V30 or
TracNet H30 Installation Guide to choose a suitable
mounting location on the vessel. Then perform the steps
below to prepare the mounting site.
1. Unfold the antenna mounting template (supplied in the
Welcome Kit) and place it onto the mounting surface.
Make sure the “FWD” (forward) arrow points toward
the bow and is parallel to the vessel’s centerline.
Note: You don’t need to mount the antenna exactly on the
vessel’s centerline, but the antenna’s forward arrow must
be parallel to it.

2. Using a light hammer and center punch, mark the
locations for the four mounting holes and cable access
hole on the mounting surface in the locations indicated
on the template.
3. Drill a 5/8" (16 mm) hole at the four mounting hole
locations you marked in step 2. Later, you will insert
four 1/2"-13 bolts through these holes from above to
secure the antenna to the mounting surface.

4. Cut out the 1.5" (38 mm) cable access hole in the
location you marked in step 2. Smooth the edges of
the hole to protect the antenna cable. (You may also
apply anti-chafe material around the antenna cable to
prevent abrasion.) Later, you will route the antenna
cable through this hole and into the vessel.
5. Clean and dry the antenna mounting surface.
6. Peel off the paper backing from the supplied foam seal
to expose the adhesive. Then press the foam seal
down firmly onto the mounting surface, ensuring the
hole in the foam seal aligns with the cable access hole
in the mounting surface.
Note: Apply the foam seal to the vessel mounting surface,
not to the antenna’s baseplate.
IMPORTANT!
The 1/2"-13 bolts supplied in the kit are 2.25" (57 mm)
long. Since the bolts must extend fully into and through
nuts beneath the baseplate for proper thread
engagement, you will need bolts of a different length if
the mounting surface is thinner than 0.75" (19 mm) or
thicker than 1" (25 mm).
