Visually inspect the area surrounding the mounting bracket installation site
for hidden hazards or obstacles that may have been overlooked during the
location selection. If there is any doubt as to the ready accessibility to the
beacon at all times or if any condition may appear to be questionable,
conduct a complete and thorough investigation before final approval of the
installation.
NOTE: When selecting the beacon bracket location, be sure to consider the
requirement for four screw holes to secure the bracket.
CAUTION: Keep this beacon a safe distance away from all
magnetic sources. Magnet safe distance is 4.6 ft or 1.4 m, including
the distance from stereo speakers.
CAUTION: Category I brackets must be mounted free from
obstruction to allow the beacon to automatically float free from the vessel
in case of sinking. The SeaShelter
3
™ can be mounted on a vertical
surface with the beacon antenna pointing skyward or a horizontal surface
with the beacon face up. Avoid mounting locations that subject the
bracket to breaking waves. Avoid structures like dodgers or cabin tops
that could trap the beacon upon deployment.
CAUTION: Category II brackets must be mounted in a protected
location that is easily accessible should it be necessary to abandon ship.
The QuickDraw™ can be mounted on a vertical surface with the beacon
antenna pointing skyward or a horizontal surface with the beacon face
up. Avoid mounting locations that subject the bracket to breaking waves.
Avoid mounting locations that do not provide protection from harmful UV
rays of the sun. The bracket must be mounted facing inboard to avoid
being lost overboard due to impacts of breaking waves, personnel or
loose gear.
