Mounting the Antenna on a Surface
1. Select a mounting location for the antenna, and verify correct operation at the mounting location.
2. Trim the surface-mount template, and make sure the antenna fits in the mounting location you selected.
3. Remove the protective liner on the back of the template, and apply the template to the mounting location.
4. Use a

If you are mounting the GPS 17x on fiberglass, it is recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance counterbore through the top gelcoat layer (but
no deeper). This helps to avoid cracking in the gelcoat layer when the screws are tightened.
5. Use a

8. Make sure the large gasket is in place on the bottom of the antenna
9. Route a NMEA 2000 drop cable through the center hole, and connect it to the
antenna ➎.
10. P lace the antenna on the surface-mount bracket, and twist it clockwise to lock it in
place.
11. S ecure the antenna to the mounting bracket with the M3 set screw
12. R oute the NMEA 2000 drop cable away from sources of electronic interference.
13.Connect the antenna to your NMEA 2000 network.
Mounting the Antenna on a Pole
Using the pole-mount bracket, you can install the antenna on a standard marine pole
Mount (not included). A standard threaded marine pole mount has the following characteristics:
• An outer diameter (OD) of 1 inch
• Threads that measure 14 threads per inch
NOTE: An external cellular antenna is not compatible with the pole-mount bracket.
Mounting the Antenna with the Cable routed outside of the Pole
1. Select a mounting location for the antenna, and verify correct operation at the mounting location.
2. Route a NMEA 2000 drop cable through the pole-mount bracket
3. Place the cable in the vertical slot
4. Thread the pole-mount bracket onto a standard marine pole mount (not included).
Do not overtighten the bracket.
5. Connect the NMEA 2000 drop cable to the antenna.
6. Place the antenna on the pole-mount bracket, and twist it clockwise
7. Secure the antenna to the bracket with the M3 set screw
8. Fasten the marine pole mount to the boat if it is not already attached.
9. Route the NMEA 2000 drop cable away from sources of electronic interference.
10. C onnect the antenna to your NMEA 2000 network.
11. A fter the antenna has been installed on the pole mount, fill the remaining gap in the vertical cable slot with a
marine sealant (optional).
Mounting the Antenna with the Cable routed through the Pole
1. Select a mounting location for the antenna, and verify correct operation at the mounting location.
2. Temporarily position a standard marine pole mount (not included) in the mounting location you selected.
3. Mark the approximate center of the pole.
