Hawk VHF Masthead Antenna Kit
With Wind Indicator
1. Select the highest position on the boat,
ideally at the top of the mast, for maximum radio
range and clear of any other apparatus such as
revolving radar aerials, wind speed indicators
and rigging. A flat, horizontal surface is required.
2. Assemble the Hawk Wind Indicator and fit it
on the antenna BEFORE installation.
SEE SEPARATE INSTRUCTIONS.
3. Fit the flat bracket, ideally to the mast top
plate, with the slotted round end pointing to
the stern so that the Hawk wind indicator will be
visible from the cockpit.
4. Use the bracket as a template guide and drill
the 3 holes marked X to a 3.5mm diameter. Mark
a cable entry point on the mast side and drill a
10mm diameter hole Y. Figs. C & D.
5. Fit the bracket to the mast top with the screws
supplied. Place the Antenna, complete with the
wind indicator, onto the bracket and screw the
black nut onto the threaded shaft of the base;
the wider, flat part of the nut to be against the
underside of the bracket. Ensure that the base
is correctly slotted into the bracket. Turn the nut
fingertight to the underside of the bracket and
use a 25mm spanner to add a further ¼ turn to
secure it tight. Fig. D.
6. Turn the Wind Indicator Locking Block (Part
1) until the 2 Reference Arms (Part 3) are equally
spaced to the centre line of the boat. Tighten the
Side Screw (Part 1a) firmly into the Antenna stem.
As a final test, hold the arrow and fin of the Wind
Indicator Vane and rock the vane arm to ensure
that there is no movement at the vane arm skirt
which might allow it to rock past the Locking
Piece and escape up the whip.
Don't let your Hawk fly away!
(Note: Ensure that you have securely glued the
tip to the top of the antenna whip).
7. Ensure that the plastic grommet is correctly
placed on the cable near the antenna. Unscrew
the PL259 radio plug from the cable end and
remove the grommet near that plug. Thread
the cable through the hole Y at the top of the
mast and feed the cable down the mast. Leave
a small loop of cable between the Antenna and
the hole Y. Press the grommet firmly into the
hole so that it holds the cable in place.
8. Thread the cable out at the bottom of the
mast through a pre-drilled 10mm hole and
fit the other grommet supplied. For easy un-
stepping of the mast and withdrawal of the
cable from the radio, fit a V-Tronix ACC 105
Deck Connector, following the instructions
in that pack. (Ensure the cable end is
waterproofed in storage).
