Step 1: Select a location for the antenna.

Follow the instructions for choosing a location, which are included with the SRA-30

antenna (sold separately). The SM-30 Mounting Kit should be positioned with its

triangular arrow facing toward the front of the vessel or vehicle, and the antenna’s

cable either going through the surface or exiting the SM-30 Mounting Kit at the

back, away from oncoming wind due to normal vessel or vehicle motion.

Step 2: Assemble the SRA-30 to the gasket using the washer and nut, as illustrated.

Step 3: Orient the gasket with the base according to how the cable is to be routed:

If the cable is to go through the mounting surface, rotate the gasket so as to block the

cable exit notch and expose the weep hole, as illustrated. If the cable is not to pass

Cable through mounting surface OR Cable through notch in base.

through the mounting surface, position the gasket so that the cable exit notch is

available to make a neat seal, and route the cable through the base as illustrated.

Step 4: Attach the SM-30/SRA-30 assembly to the surface.

If the antenna’s cable is to go through the mounting surface, Drill a 9/16”

hole in the center of where the antenna is to be mounted, for passage of the

6” cable with connector. When drilling fiberglass surfaces, use a small

backup block of scrap wood to control push-through splintering.

Use caution to avoid drilling through or near fuel lines, fuel tanks, hydraulic

lines, or electrical wiring. Mount the SM-30 so that it does not interfere with

safe operation of the vessel or vehicle.

Attach the gasket/base/antenna assembly to the mounting surface. Be sure to orient

the unit so that the triangular directional arrow on top of the base points toward the

front of the vessel or vehicle. The supplied mounting screws will accommodate most

surfaces. If you find them too long, too short, or otherwise unsuitable for your

application, substitute wood screws, machine screws/washers/nuts, or other hardware

(not supplied). Be sure to use only non-rusting (for example, stainless steel)

hardware, and be sure to use the five supplied grommets with the hardware you

choose. If you find it too difficult to start the screws, drill 7/64” pilot holes.
