INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety Information
CAUTION
To avoid possible personal injury, always wear safety goggles,
ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or
sanding.
NOTICE
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite
side of the surface to avoid damaging the vessel.
For the best performance and to avoid damage to your boat,
read all installation instructions before proceeding. Install the
device per these instructions. Use the appropriate fasteners,
tools, and mounts listed, which are available at most marine
dealers.
For more information, go to support.garmin.com.
Tools Needed
• Drill
• 3.2 mm (1/8 in.) drill bit
• 19 mm (3/4 in.) drill bit for a pole-mount cable-hole
• 25 mm (1 in.) hole saw for a surface-mount cable-hole
• Countersink bit for mounting on fiberglass

• Additional NMEA 2000 network components as needed
Mounting the Antenna
Antenna Mounting Considerations
CAUTION
Do not install or store the antenna near strong magnets,
including speakers. A strong magnetic field can damage the
antenna.
You can mount the antenna on a flat surface or attach it to a
standard 1 in. OD, 14 threads per inch, pipe-threaded pole (not
included). You can route the cable outside of the pole or through
the pole. For best performance, consider these guidelines when
selecting the antenna mounting location.
• To ensure the best reception, the antenna should be
mounted in a location that has a clear, unobstructed view of
the sky in all directions .
• The antenna should not be mounted where it is shaded by
the superstructure of the boat , a radome antenna, or the
mast.
• The antenna should not be mounted near the engine or other
sources of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) .
• The antenna should not be mounted near known ferrous
metal objects such as a toolbox or compass.
• If a radar is present, the antenna should be mounted above
the path of the radar . If necessary, the antenna may be
mounted below the path of the radar .
• The antenna should not be mounted directly in the path of the
radar .
• The antenna should not be mounted within 1 m (3 ft.) of a
VHF radio antenna or the path of a radar .
Testing the Mounting Location
1Temporarily secure the antenna in the preferred mounting
location and test it for correct operation.
2If you experience interference with other electronics, move
the antenna to a different location, and test it again.
3Repeat steps 1–2 until you observe full or acceptable signal
strength.
4Permanently mount the antenna.
Surface Mounting the Antenna
NOTICE
If you are mounting the bracket on fiberglass with screws, 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 cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws are
tightened.
Before you permanently mount the antenna, you must test the
mounting location for correct operation (Testing the Mounting
Location, page 1).
1Using the surface-mount bracket as your mounting
template, mark the three pilot-hole locations and trace the
cable-hole in the center of the bracket.

GUID-512A740F-7146-4626-9C08-48DB06A8A4EE v1January 2021

2Set the surface-mount bracket aside.
Do not drill through the bracket.
3Drill the three 3.2 mm (1/8 in.) pilot holes.
4Drill the 25 mm (1 in.) cable hole in the center.
5Use the included M4 screws to secure the surface-mount
bracket to the mounting surface.
6Route the cable through the center hole, and connect it to
the antenna.
7Verify the large gasket is in place on the bottom of the
antenna, place the antenna on the surface-mount bracket,
and twist it clockwise to lock it in place.
8Secure the antenna to the mounting bracket with the included
M3 screw .
9Route the cable away from sources of electronic interference.
Mounting the Antenna on a Pole
Mounting the Antenna with the Cable Routed Outside the
Pole
Before you permanently mount the antenna, you must test the
mounting location for correct operation (Testing the Mounting
Location, page 1).
1Route the cable through the pole-mount adapter , and
place the cable in the vertical slot along the base of the
pole-mount adapter.
2Screw the pole-mount adapter onto a standard 1 in. OD, 14
threads per inch, pipe-threaded pole (not included).
Do not overtighten the adapter on the pole.
3Connect the cable to the antenna.
4Place the antenna on the pole-mount adapter and twist it
clockwise to lock it in place.
5Secure the antenna to the adapter with the included M3 set
screw .
6With the antenna installed on the pole mount, fill the
remaining gap in the vertical cable slot with a marine sealant
(optional).
7Attach the pole to the boat if it is not already attached.
8Route the cable away from sources of electronic interference.
Mounting the Antenna with the Cable Routed Through the
Pole
Before you permanently mount the antenna, you must test the
mounting location for correct operation (Testing the Mounting
Location, page 1).
1Position a standard 1 in. OD, 14 threads per inch, pipe-
threaded pole (not included) in the selected location, and
mark the approximate center of the pole.
2Drill a hole using a 19 mm (3/4 in.) drill bit for the cable to
pass through.
3Fasten the pole to the boat.
4Thread the pole-mount adapter onto the pole.
Do not overtighten the adapter.
5Route the cable through the pole and connect it to the
antenna.
6Place the antenna on the pole-mount adapter and twist it
clockwise to lock it in place.
7Secure the antenna to the adapter with the included M3 set
screw .
8With the antenna installed on the pole mount, fill the vertical
cable slot with a marine sealant (optional).
9Route the cable away from sources of electronic interference.
Mounting the Antenna Under a Surface
NOTICE
Verify that the supplied screws will not penetrate the surface
before you install the under-deck mounting bracket. If the
supplied screws are too long, use surface-appropriate screws
instead.
Because the antenna cannot acquire signals through metal, it
must be mounted under a fiberglass surface only.
1Determine and test the location under a fiberglass surface
where you want to mount the antenna (Testing the Mounting
Location, page 1).

2Place the adhesive pads on the under-deck mounting
bracket .
3Place the antenna in the under-deck mounting bracket.
4Adhere the under-deck mounting bracket to the mounting
surface.
5Secure the under-deck mounting bracket to the mounting
surface with screws.
6Connect the cable to the antenna .
7Route the cable away from sources of electronic interference.
Connecting the Antenna
NMEA 2000 Network Connection
If you do not have an existing NMEA 2000 network, you must
install a NMEA 2000 network on your boat. For more information
on NMEA 2000, go to garmin.com/manuals/nmea_2000.
The antenna is packaged with a NMEA 2000 T-connector and a
NMEA 2000 drop cable. You will use these two components to
connect the antenna to your existing NMEA 2000 network.
If the included drop cable is not long enough, you can add a
drop cable extension up to 4 m (13 ft.). If more cable is needed,
add an extension to your NMEA 2000 backbone, based on the
NMEA 2000 guidelines.

Antenna Configuration
To access the NMEA 2000 configuration menu on your Garmin®
device, consult the documentation provided with your device.
While viewing the NMEA 2000 configuration menu on your
Garmin device, you must select the antenna, then select
Review to change these settings.
WAAS/EGNOS: Enables WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation
System in North America) and EGNOS (European
Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) to provide more
accurate position information.
Speed Filter: Enables data averaging to provide smoother
position updates, reducing unnecessary drift-alarm triggers.
You can enable it when stationary or for lower speeds when it
is most helpful, or disable it for higher speeds.
Auto Locate: Allows you to clear cached satellite data, forcing
the device to acquire new data. This can be helpful if you
have moved the boat many miles without using the antenna.
GLONASS: Enables GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite
System in Russia) satellites.
Factory Defaults: Allows you to reset the antenna to factory
default. You will lose all custom configuration settings.
Cleaning the Outer Casing
NOTICE
Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that can damage plastic
components.
1Clean the outer casing of the device using a cloth dampened
with a mild detergent solution.
2Wipe the device dry.
