NOTE: If you are mounting the chartplotter in berglass, it is recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance-counterbore through only the top

gel-coat layer. This will help to avoid any cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws are tightened.

NOTE: Stainless-steel screws may bind when screwed into berglass and overtightened. Garmin recommends applying an anti-galling, stainless anti-

seize lubricant to the screw before using.

To ensure the best reception, keep these considerations in mind while selecting a mounting location.

• Mount the antenna in a location that has a clear, unobstructed view of the sky in all directions.

• Mount the antenna where it is not covered by the superstructure of the boat, a radar device, or

a mast

➊

• On a sailboat, avoid mounting the GPS antenna high on the mast to prevent inaccurate speed

readings caused by excessive heeling.

• Do not install the antenna near sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI)

➋

, such as the

motor or other large marine electronics.

• Install the antenna at least 3 ft. (1 m) away from the path of a radar beam or VHF radio

antenna

➌

• It is best to install the antenna above the path of the radar beam

➍

• It is acceptable to install the antenna under the path of the radar beam

➎

• Install the antenna at least 2 in. (5 cm) from a magnetic compass to avoid interfering with the compass.
