10. Position the baseplate assembly in place over the

mounting holes and cable access, with the

baseplate’s “Forward” arrow (shown in Figure 2-6)

pointing toward the bow. Ensure that all holes line

up and that the connectors are centered over the

cable access. Make any necessary adjustments

before seating the foam seal in place permanently.

11. Clean the mounting surface where the foam seal

will be placed. Remove the paper backing from the

foam seal to expose the contact cement, then lay

the foam seal in place, adhesive side down, and

press down firmly to bring the adhesive into full

contact along the bottom. Ensure the narrow end

points toward the bow.

12. Connect the data, power, and RF cables from

belowdecks to the baseplate as shown in

Figure 2-7. Turn the power and data cable

connectors down until locked in place; don’t use

excessive force. Connect the RF cable(s) using a

⁄16"

wrench, applying 30 pounds of torque. If you

connect more than one RF cable, label both ends of

each RF cable to match its antenna baseplate

connector (RF1 or RF2). Do NOT use teflon gel on

the cable fittings as it reduces signal strength at

higher frequencies.
