You can surface mount the GPS 17x antenna, attach it to a standard 1 in. OD pipe-threaded-pole marine mount (14 threads-per-inch—not
included), or install the antenna under berglass.
Select a suitable location for the GPS 17x antenna on your boat. To ensure the best reception, mount the GPS 17x antenna in a location that has
a clear, unobstructed view of the sky in all directions.
• Avoid mounting the GPS 17x antenna where it is shaded by the superstructure of the boat,
a radome antenna, or a mast.
• On a sailboat, avoid mounting the GPS 17x antenna high on the mast to prevent inaccurate
speed readings caused by excessive heeling.
• The GPS 17x antenna provides more-stable readings when located nearer to water level.

Temporarily secure the antenna in the preferred mounting location and test it for correct
operation. If you experience interference with other electronics, try a different location. After
you verify correct operation, permanently mount the antenna.
