Follow these steps to stem mount the GPS receiver:
NOTE: If you have an existing stem for mounting the GPS receiver, proceed directly to step 2 of the
following procedure.
1. Determine the best location to mount your GPS receiver. Preplan and test the cable
routing to your control head before any drilling or cutting of your boat surfaces. If you
have purchased hardware to stem mount your GPS receiver, follow the instructions
included with that hardware to mount the stem (antenna pole).
NOTE: AS-EC10 10' extension cables are available from Humminbird® if your planned routing exceeds 20',
(6 m). Maximum cable length, including extensions, should not exceed 50' (16 m).
NOTE: Remember to seal screw holes and drilled holes as needed with marine-grade silicone sealant to
protect your boat from water damage.
To optimize performance of the GPS receiver, mount it in an area that has full exposure
to the sky. The effective area of reception is 10° above the horizon. Do not install the GPS
receiver close to a VHF antenna or within the active area of a radar.
