Installing a RAM mic on a 35-1 was easy. Since the pedestal sits on top of a bulkhead I put the RAM mic plug in the aft side of the bulkhead about 14-18 inches above the cockpit sole. I installed a mic clip next to it. I installed another mic clip on the instrument pod above the compass. There is enough coiled cable to reach the pod. It passes close by the shift lever.
When I'm docking, etc. I move the RAM mic down to the lower clip out of the way of the shift level. Dennis C.
