WARNING
CAUTION
GPS position and velocity accuracies
are controlled by the U.S. Department
of Defense. Therefore, the position
accuracy described in the specifi-
cations cannot be guaranteed.
No one navigation device should ever
be solely replied upon for the navi-
gation of a vessel.
Always confirm position against all
available aids to navigation, for safety of
vessel and crew.
The compass safe distance for
standard and steering compasses is
0.30 m.
Observe this distance to prevent
inteference to a magnetic compass.
Do not disassemble the unit.
Disasembling the unit will damage
the waterproof seal. Further, there are
no user-serviceable parts inside.

1.3 Choosing the Mounting Location
For a reliable GPS signal, selecting the best location for the receiver is very impor-
tant. It can be mounted on a pole, rail, or flat surface. Choose a location that bal-
ances the requirements below.
• The GPS receiver must have a clear view of the sky to the horizon in all direc-
tions. Note that frozen water spray may degrade reception.
• Referring to the figure below for distances, mount away from any VHF radio, sat-
ellite communications equipment, radar, or other antennas to avoid mutual inter-
ference.
• Mount above or below any radar beam. Do not mount within a radar beam.
• Mount reasonably level with the earth’s surface—not tilted to one side.
•Do not mount on top of a sailboat mast. The sway will cause jitter in the data.
•Do not mount where the GPS receiver could be a tripping hazard or tread upon.

1.4 Mounting
1.4.1 Pole/Rail (Pipe) Mount
The nut assembly supplied has standard 1-14" UNS threads that can be screwed
to a standard marine antenna mount, extension pole, or rail-mount bracket. Before
beginning the installation, plan for securing the pole/rail bracket to the boat and
purchase locally all the necessary hardware. It may be helpful to fasten the
pole/rail bracket to the boat before proceeding.
1. Unscrew the mount base (part C) from the surface bracket (part E). (The sur-
face bracket is not used in this installation. See the next page for part (E)).
2. Remove the label from the GPS receiver’s socket (underside of receiver). The
label may be discarded.
Fasten the mount base (part C) to the GPS receiver (part A) with the supplied
two panhead screws, flat washers and spring washers. The torque for the
screws is 1.35 NQm.
3. Decide if you want the cable to exit through the center or along the side of the
pole/rail bracket. Slide the nut assembly (captive nut and adaptor) onto the
cable at the 9-pin GPS connector end. Do not connect the GPS receiver at this
time.
1)Center exit—Pass the instrument connector end of the cable down through
the center of the pole. Be sure to leave several inches of cable extending
beyond the nut assembly.
2)Side exit—Place the cable side-exit adaptor (part D) over the cable. Being
sure the cable is passing through the slot in the side, screw the nut assembly
onto the adaptor. Hand-tighten only. Do not over tighten.
Note: Use the adaptor supplied as it has smooth edges that will not chafe the
cable. Do not use a purchased part.
CAUTION: If you use a thread locker, use teflon pipe thread tape. Do not use a
liquid thread locker as it may weaken the plastic, causing it to swell and crack.
4. Screw the extension pole/rail bracket onto the nut assembly / cable side-exit
adaptor. Hand-tighten only. Do not over tighten.

5. Remove the protective cap from the GPS connector on the cable. (Save the
cap to protect the connector, when the receiver is removed.) Plug the cable
firmly into the GPS receiver.
6. With the alignment tab on the GPS receiver facing forward, slide the captive nut
upward and screw it onto the mount base. Hand-tighten only. Do not over
tighten.
1.4.2 Deck Mount
See the outline drawing for mounting hole dimensions and fixing instructions.
1. Unscrew the mount base (part C) from the surface bracket (part E) (see figure
above). Remove the label from over the GPS receiver’s socket. (The label may
be discarded.) Fasten the mount base (part C) to the GPS receiver (part A) with
the supplied panhead screws, flat washers and spring washers. The torque for
the screws is 1.35 NQm.
2. Screw the surface bracket (part E) onto the mount base of the assembled GPS
receiver. Use a pencil to extend the alignment tab onto the surface bracket.
Unscrew the surface bracket.
3. At the selected location, position the surface bracket with the pencil mark facing
forward. Using it as a template, mark the position for the three mounting screws
and the center hole for the cable.
4. Using a 3 mm or 1/8" bit, drill the pilot holes. Using 5.1 mm or #7 bit, drill the
three mounting holes. Drill the cable hole with a 25 mm or 1" bit.
Fiberglass—Minimize surface cracking by running the drill in reverse until the
gelcoat is penetrated.
5. At the location shown in the figure above, coat the surface bracket (part E) with
silicone sealant.
6. Apply silicone sealant to the three #10 x 1/2" self-tapping screws to seal the
deck. With the pencil mark facing forward, fasten the surface bracket in place.
Do not block the drain slots. They will allow any water that accumulates inside
the surface bracket to escape. CAUTION: Do not use a liquid thread locker as it
may weaken the plastic, causing it to swell and crack.
