radome to the baseplate. Carefully lift the radome
straight up until clear of the antenna assembly and
set it aside in a safe place. If you bring the radome
topside, be sure to secure it with a lanyard so that
it does not fall overboard.

access cutout. Do not remove the paper backing at
this time. Align the seal with the vessel’s centerline
and the narrow end pointing toward the bow (see
Figure 2-6). Scribe a line all around the seal.
