6. How can I mount my Marine-Sat®?

There are three mounts available for the Marine-Sat® systems - a Multi-Clamp mount, a Fixed mount and a Suction mount. The mount that you use will depend on your boat. The fixed mount can be permanently attached to a piling or a place on your boat. The Multi-clamp mount is used on a railing. The suction mount can be attached to a hatch or any smooth, flat surface. All of these mounts are included in the Marine-Sat® Deluxe Kit.

The Marine-Sat® is for use at the dock. It will tolerate normal marina wakes and tide changes with no disruption to your picture.

9. Can I leave my Marine-Sat® equipment mounted while running?

We recommend that you remove the dish from the Marine-Sat® while underway so that you do not lose your dish. If you have used the rail or suction mounts to attach your unit to the boat, we suggest that you remove these also.

10. Can I extend the cables on equipment?

Yes. The cable that runs from the LNB to the receiver is RG-6 cable - you must have a direct run with no split in the cable. It can be extended up to 100 feet.
