2 Screw the pole-mount adapter onto a standard 1 in. OD, 14 threads per inch, pipe-threaded pole (not included). Do not overtighten the adapter on the pole. 3 Connect the cable to the antenna. 4 Place the antenna on the pole-mount adapter and twist it clockwise to lock it in place. 5 Secure the antenna to the adapter with the included M3 set screw .  6 With the antenna installed on the pole mount, fill the remaining gap in the vertical cable slot with a marine sealant (optional). 7 Attach the pole to the boat if it is not already attached. 8 Route the cable away from sources of electronic interference. Connection Considerations NOTICE If you are connecting the audio cable from the wiring harness, you must connect it to the line-in or auxiliary port on a stereo. Attempting to connect the audio cable directly to a speaker will result in poor performance, and it may cause the antenna to shut down, which might damage the antenna or the speaker. You must connect this antenna to power and to the Garmin Marine Network to provide weather information to connected, compatible Garmin devices.
