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

Set the surface-mount bracket aside.
Do not drill through the surface-mount bracket.
3
Drill the three

in. (3.2 mm) pilot holes.
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.
4
Use a 1 in. (25 mm) hole saw to cut the cable
hole in the center.
5
Place the seal pad

on the bottom of the
surface-mount bracket, aligning the screw holes.
6
Use the included M4 screws to attach the
surface-mount bracket to the mounting surface.
7
Route the cable

through the 1 in. (25 mm)
hole and connect it to the antenna.

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.

10
Route the cable away from sources of electronic
interference, and connect it to your NMEA 2000
network (
).
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 (
Mounting the Antenna with the Cable
Routed outside of the Pole

With the antenna installed on the pole mount, fill
the remaining gap in the vertical cable slot with a

Attach the pole to the boat if it is not already
attached.

Mounting the Antenna with the Cable
Routed through the Pole
1
Position a standard 1 in. OD, 14 threads per in.,
pipe-threaded pole (not included) in the selected
location, and mark the approximate center of the
pole.

Mounting the Antenna under a
Surface
Notice
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 (
