I found that it was far easier if using a cutting lubricant - brand I use is Rocol (ROC53020 RTD). I found this out when drilling my bolts, and have since used the compound whenever I drill metal, and it is far, far easier. One tube also goes a long way.

AAE antennas: I have installed many. I put them in the vertical fin and have put them on the stern post as well as just behind the baggage bay. All have worked well. Don't cut the AAE or anything, they work right out of the box. Technique, if putting on the aft side of the stern post, and cutting a hole into the post for the coil, make sure the rudder clears. Personally I put them on the inboard skin of the port side of the fin and simply cut a notch in the ribs to clear the antenna. Run the coax through a couple of grommets and leave it alone after glue up. Since the antenna doesn't fail, but anything can, a simple access hole in the fin can provide access or I just will cut a hole (premarked for the client if necessary) between the mid and top rib and reach in and unplug the coax connector if for some reason my BNC connector failed.

Looking at the manual I see the part about drilling the bolt heads. Yikes! That is something I really don't look forward to doing, with images in my brain of breaking tiny drill bits and having to order more bolts, etc. Does anyone remember if that was a pain to do, with a multitude of broken and stuck drill bits and the like? or are the bolts actually soft and not a big deal to drill? Not to gripe but I really wonder why couldn't Europa supply pre-drilled bolts with the kits [Evil or Very Mad] Chris Read this topic online here: https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.matr onics.com%2Fviewtopic.php%3Fp%3D483942%23483942 &data=02%7C01%7C%7C7641e756ad884f670f3f08d638490493%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb4 35aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636758283585284851&sdata=c6rq0%2FbTOX%2FfuYAVT3 tNfz5XpktbyA5vb9WVtOw7j9g%3D&reserved=0 ========== st Email Forum - ook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.matronics.com%2FNavigator%3FEuropa-List&da ta=02%7C01%7C%7C7641e756ad884f670f3f08d638490493%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaa aaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636758283585284851&sdata=npC3wa0JOketSa6mTAATkhPsnmn87 G0SvIWJfmnkSuc%3D&reserved=0"> https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.matroni cs.com%2FNavigator%3FEuropa-List &data=02%7C01%7C%7C7641e756ad884f670f3f08d638490493%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb4 35aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636758283585284851&sdata=npC3wa0JOketSa6mTAATkh Psnmn87G0SvIWJfmnkSuc%3D&reserved=0 ========== p; - MATRONICS WEB FORUMS - ook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.matronics.com&data=02%7C01%7C%7C7641e75 6ad884f670f3f08d638490493%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C63675 8283585284851&sdata=Vquih6U7ET4KXifD883X6R0vw0oOX9MbfW3csx8Oo3I%3D&r eserved=0"> https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.matr onics.com &data=02%7C01%7C%7C7641e756ad884f670f3f08d638490493%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb4 35aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636758283585284851&sdata=Vquih6U7ET4KXifD883X6R 0vw0oOX9MbfW3csx8Oo3I%3D&reserved=0 ========== p; - NEW MATRONICS LIST WIKI - ook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwiki.matronics.com&data=02%7C01%7C%7C7641e756a d884f670f3f08d638490493%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C6367582 83585284851&sdata=2HSQpc%2FqiRIIWztQEeWGW7LsfH3nxzhoQE19w7hEogE%3D&r eserved=0"> https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwiki.matron ics.com &data=02%7C01%7C%7C7641e756ad884f670f3f08d638490493%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb4 35aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636758283585284851&sdata=2HSQpc%2FqiRIIWztQEeWG W7LsfH3nxzhoQE19w7hEogE%3D&reserved=0 ========== p; - List Contribution Web Site - p; -Matt Dralle, List Admin. ook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.matronics.com%2Fcontribution&data=02%7C01% 7C%7C7641e756ad884f670f3f08d638490493%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1 %7C0%7C636758283585284851&sdata=yzkAsarc8TR8r7XLkmMT9uRntNkbVTCcwQS%2Fhy V4SE8%3D&reserved=0"> https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.matroni cs.com%2Fcontribution &data=02%7C01%7C%7C7641e756ad884f670f3f08d638490493%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb4 35aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636758283585284851&sdata=yzkAsarc8TR8r7XLkmMT9u RntNkbVTCcwQS%2FhyV4SE8%3D&reserved=0 ========== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
