Mounting Location Tips

• Position the receiver so that it has the clearest

possible view of the sky and horizon in all directions.

• Avoid mounting the antenna next to large areas of

conductive material (metal, aluminum, etc.) as this

may cause poor signal reception.

• Do not mount the GPS 17 high on a mast, as the top

of the mast travels more than the boat. The unit will

provide more stable readings if it is located near the

water level.

• When routing the wiring to the GPS 17, avoid routing

the cable near the vessel's alternator or ignition

system components or parallel to other power lines.

• As a general rule, mount the receiver at least three

feet from all other antennas and the vessel's electrical

system components (alternator/ignition system).

• The GPS 17 is supplied with a 30-foot power/data

cable. Be sure that the cable can be routed to the

necessary devices.

GPS 17 Installation Guide

To ﬂush mount the GPS 17:

1. Turn the GPS 17 upside down. To create a template,

punch a hole in the three mounting screw holes.

2. Use the template to mark the hole locations on the

mounting surface. The centers of the holes are 2.44"

(62 mm) apart. Use an 11/64" drill bit to drill a hole at

each marked location.

3. Align the GPS 17 over the three holes and fasten the

M4 screws. The threads are 8.10 mm deep: do not

use screws that will thread into the base any deeper,

as this may damage the GPS 17.
