under-deck-mounting the GPS 17x Antenna
The GPS 17x antenna can be mounted under a fiberglass surface with the adhesive pads attached to the under-deck mounting bracket. The GPS
17x 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 GPS 17x.
2. Place the adhesive pads on the under-deck mounting bracket.
3. Place the GPS 17x 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 a NMEA 2000 drop cable to the GPS 17x.
7. Route the NMEA 2000 drop cable away from sources of electronic interference, and connect it to your NMEA 2000 network (page 8).
Installing Cables
The GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotter is packaged with the following cables:
• A two-pin power cable
• A 19-pin NMEA 0183 data cable
• A 17-pin marine video cable (the GPSMAP 7015/7215 chartplotter is packaged with two different marine video cables)
• NMEA 2000 cables and connectors
Installing Locking Rings on the Cables
To help make the cable-routing process easier, the locking rings are packaged separately from the cables. Each locking ring is packaged in a
small bag with a number on the label for easy identification. After you route the cables, use the following table to identify the correct locking
ring for each cable:
NoteS:
• The NMEA 2000 cables and connectors come with the locking rings pre-installed. Do not remove the locking ring from a NMEA 2000 cable
while routing the cable.
• Optional Garmin Marine Network components use specialized Garmin Network cables (not included). Each network cable is also
packaged with a separate locking ring, in a bag labeled with a
GPSMAP 6000/7000 cable.
