To mount the GXM 51 with the cable routed through the pole:
1. Position a standard 1 in. OD pipe-threaded-pole marine mount (14 threads per inch—not
included) in the preferred location, and mark the approximate center of the pole.
2. Drill a hole using a
3. Fasten the pipe-threaded pole marine mount to the boat.
4. Thread the pole-mount adapter onto the pole. Do not overtighten the adapter.
5. Route the NMEA 2000/audio cable through the pole and connect it to the GXM 51 antenna.
6. Place the GXM 51 antenna on the pole-mount adapter

7. Secure the antenna to the adapter with the included M3 set screw
8. (Optional) With the GXM 51 installed on the pole mount, fill the vertical cable slot with a
marine sealant (not included).
9. Route the NMEA 2000/audio cable away from sources of electronic interference, and
connect it to your NMEA 2000 network and to the audio input of your stereo receiver

Under-deck-mounting the GXM 51 Antenna
The GXM 51 can be mounted under a fiberglass surface with the adhesive pads attached to the
under-deck mounting bracket. The GXM 51 will not acquire satellite signals through metal—
you can only use the under-deck mount under a fiberglass surface.
1. Determine the location on the
fiberglass surface where you
want to mount the GXM 51.
2. Place the adhesive pads on
the under-deck mounting
bracket.
3. Place the GXM 51 in the
under-deck mounting bracket.
4. Adhere the under-deck
mounting bracket to the
mounting surface.
5. Secure the under-deck mount
to the mounting surface with
screws. Use extreme care to ensure that the screws do not penetrate the upper surface of
the deck.
6. Connect the NMEA 2000/audio cable to the GXM 51.
7. Route the NMEA 2000/audio cable away from sources of electronic interference, and
connect it to your NMEA 2000 network and to the audio input of your stereo receiver (see
step 3 below).
