So, I could set it for "bridge" operation, toss it on the deck with the

about a half mile, line of sight, at the marina with the internal
antenna.
Yes. Using a 9 db omni-directional antenna 20 ft off the water, I
have maintained solid connections at 3 to 5 miles.
Hmmm. The unit seems to have a 3db (or so) antenna. Where are the
antennas available? Or does it matter if most probably won't be good
for more than 1-2000 feet?
The POE injector inserts power into the ethernet cable to operate the
bridge. It consists of a small wall wart transformer going to an
even smaller box with ethernet in/out jacks.
So that looks like it comes with the EOC-3610s/8610/s series (mostly
saying that so I can fid it again.)
Looking at the quick-start and users guides, this isn't quite as simple
as setting up a Mac wireless network. ;-)
