Installation Guide
If you can't find the answer to your question, please get in touch and one of our product experts will get back to you.
My pedestal has a centre to centre measurement of 10” – can I still install a Helm Pod?
The back of the Helm Pod is designed to fit 9.5” or 12” centre pedestals. If your pedestal is a different measurement, you could use our Flex Mount System to install the product.
What are Scanpods made from?
They are made from acrylic capped ABS plastic, which makes them tough, corrosion free and UV stable.
Do I have to cut the front myself?
Scanpods are supplied uncut as standard. However, for a small fee we can supply pre-cut for your electronic.
How do I cut the pod front?
Use jigsaw, but slow it right down so as not to melt the ABS. Move slowly and patiently through the plastic.
