#Check the area below the cable for a gap. If there is a gap there, pull the cable back and put some more Liquid Electrical Tape there and let it dry.<br />[[File:Yaesu_Install_NMO_Mount_7.jpg|400px]]
#Put 1 last coat over the whole thing and work up the cable an inch or so (this is to provide some additional strain relief). Let it dry.<br />[[File:Yaesu_Install_NMO_Mount_8.jpg|400px]]
#Now it's time to reattach the bracket to the Strut Channel. I also decided to Zip Tie the cable to the nearest spacer bolt as additional strain relief. If you chose to buy an NMO Weather Cap, install it until you're ready to put your NMO Antenna on. The silver you see on the center pin of my NMO Connector is a bit of solder I used when trying to heat up the center pin. It's flat and shouldn't cause any problems. Congrats! You're done with the NMO Mount!<br />[[File:Strut_Channel_No_Glue_1Yaesu_Install_NMO_Mount_9.jpg|400px]][[File:Yaesu_Install_NMO_Mount_9Yaesu_Install_NMO_Mount_10.jpg|400px]][[File:Yaesu_Install_NMO_Mount_10Strut_Channel_No_Glue_1.jpg|400px]]
