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 NMEA 2000 cable through the pole or outside the pole.
To mount the GPS 17x with the cable run outside the pole:
1. Route the NMEA 2000 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 NMEA 2000 drop cable to the GPS 17x antenna.
4. Place the GPS 17x antenna on the pole-mount adapter
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, fill 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 your NMEA 2000
network.
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

Under-deck-mounting the GPS 17x Antenna
The GPS 17x can be mounted under a fiberglass 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 fiberglass surface.
1. Determine the location on the
fiberglass surface where you want to
mount the GPS 17x.
2. Place the adhesive pads on the
under-deck mounting bracket.
