GPS MODULE INSTALLATION
TheGPSmodulecanbeinstalled onaflat surface or(with thesupplied
adapter) on a pole. Mount the module in an areathat guaranteesa

signals fromthesatellites, itmustnotbeobstructed. An ideallocation
is on acabin roof, ordeck. Thegunnels also make a good location.
Attaching thepole mounting adapter lets you installthemodule on a
one inch mast. A high location is preferred. However, for lightning
protection, theantennashouldn't bethehighest partoftheboat.

If youhaveaccess underneath themounting surface,use thegasket
furnishedwith the GPS module as a template. Mark and drill four
5.5mm(7/32") holesforthe mounting screwsand one 14 mm (9/16")
holeforthemodule's cable. Attachthecabletothemoduleand
passit
