Pole Mounting the GPS 17x Antenna
With the pole-mount adapter attached to the GPS 17x, you can install the GPS 17x on a
standard 1 in. OD pipe-threaded-pole marine mount (14 threads per inch—not included). You
can run the power/data cable through the pole or outside the pole.
To mount the GPS 17x with the cable run outside the pole:
1. Route the power/data drop cable through the pole-mount adapter, and place the cable in the
vertical slot along the base of the pole-mount adapter.
2. Thread the pole-mount adapter onto a standard 1 in. OD pipe-threaded-pole marine mount
(14 threads per inch—not included). Do not overtighten the adapter.
3. Connect the power/data drop cable to the GPS 17x
antenna.
4. Place the GPS 17x antenna on the pole-mount
adapter and twist it clockwise to lock it in place .
5. Secure the antenna to the adapter with the included
M3 set screw .
6. (Optional) With the GPS 17x installed on the pole
mount, ll the remaining gap in the vertical cable
slot with a marine sealant.
7. Attach the marine mount to the boat if it is not
already attached.
8. Route the cable away from sources of electronic
interference, and connect it to power and a NMEA
0183-compliant device (page 4).
To mount the GPS 17x with the cable run through the pole:
1. Position a standard 1 in. OD pipe-threaded-pole marine mount (14 threads per inch—not
included) in the preferred location, and mark the approximate center of the pole.
2. Drill a hole using a
3
/
4
in. (19 mm) drill bit for the cable to pass through.
3.
Fasten the marine mount to the boat.
4. Thread the pole-mount adapter onto the pole. Do not overtighten the adapter.
5. Route the power/data drop cable through the pole and connect it to the GPS 17x antenna.
6. Place the GPS 17x antenna on the pole-mount adapter and twist it clockwise to lock it in place .
7. Secure the antenna to the adapter with the included M3 set screw .
8. (Optional) With the GPS 17x installed on the pole mount, ll the vertical cable slot with a
marine sealant.
9. Route the cable away from sources of electronic interference, and connect it to power and a
NMEA 0183-compliant device (page 4).
Under-deck-mounting the GPS 17x Antenna
The GPS 17x can be mounted under a berglass surface with the included adhesive pads. The
GPS 17x will not acquire satellite signals through metal—you can only use the under-deck
mount under a berglass surface.
1. Determine the location on the berglass
surface where you want to mount the
GPS 17x.
2. Place the adhesive pads on the under-
deck mounting bracket.
There are holes in the under-deck
mounting bracket that can be used to
secure the under-deck mount to the
mounting surface with screws. Garmin
does not recommend attaching the
under-deck mounting bracket to the surface with screws, because of the likelihood that
screws will extend beyond the top of the mounting surface. If you choose to use screws, do
so with extreme care.
