3. Install the Radar Scanner
Use the following instructions to install the Radar scanner on your vessel. Confirm you have read the
mounting requirements in the section Choose the Mounting Location.
1. Place the Radar scanner on the mounting surface.
2. Level Mounting Surface: Confirm the Radar scanner is flush against the mounting surface.
Angled Mounting Surface: If you are installing the Radar on a planing vessel (or other angled surface),
place a wedge (shim) under the rear of the Radar scanner so that the beam points slightly down in the
forward direction when the boat is at rest. This will compensate for the bow rising at cruising speed.
3. Install one spring washer and one flat washer on each bolt as indicated in the illustration Mounting the
Scanner Unit.
4. Insert each bolt through the drilled bolt holes in the mounting surface and into each threaded bolt hole
on the Radar scanner. Hand-tighten only.
5. Confirm the bolts have a minimum insertion in the Radar scanner base of 5/8" (16 mm) and a maximum
of 7/8" (22 mm) (allowing for washers).
CAUTION! The Radar scanner may be damaged if bolts protrude through the mounting surface
more than 7/8" (22 mm).
