Use a pencil to mark the three screw locations
and to trace the cable-hole in the center of the

NotE: If you are mounting the GPS 19x
on fiberglass, it is recommended to use a
countersink bit to drill a clearance counterbore
through the top gelcoat layer (but no deeper).
This will help to avoid cracking in the gelcoat
layer when the screws are tightened.

Mounting the Antenna on a Pole
With the included pole-mount adapter attached to the
antenna, you can install it on 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.
Before you permanently mount the antenna, test the
mounting location for correct operation (page 2).
Mounting the Antenna with the Cable
Routed outside of the Pole
1
Route the cable through the pole-mount adapter
, and place the cable in the vertical slot

2
Screw the pole-mount adapter onto a standard
1 in. OD, 14 threads per in., pipe-threaded pole
(not included).
Do not overtighten the adapter on the pole.
3
Connect the cable to the antenna.

Place the antenna on the pole-mount adapter
and twist it clockwise to lock it in place.

Mounting the Antenna under a
Surface
Before attaching the under-deck mounting bracket to
the surface, verify that the supplied screws will not
penetrate the surface. If the supplied screws are too
long, you must purchase surface-appropriate screws
to complete the installation.
Because the antenna cannot acquire signals through
metal, it must be mounted under a fiberglass surface
only.

Determine and test the location under a
fiberglass surface where you want to mount the
antenna (page 2).
