Installing the GPS 17
The GPS 17 installs on any standard 1” O.D. (Outer Dimension), 14 threads
per inch marine mount. The cable can be run externally or, if possible, through the
center of the mount. The GPS 17 connects to the 18-pin Power/Data Cable on the
GPSMAP 3006C/3010C and provides the GPS/WAAS signal for the unit. If two or
more GPSMAP 3006C/3010C units are installed and networked, only one GPS 17
antenna needs to be installed.
The antenna should be mounted in a location that has a clear, unobstructed view
of the sky in all directions to ensure the best reception. Avoid mounting the antenna
where it will be shaded by the boat’s superstructure, a radome antenna, or mast.
Sailboat users should avoid mounting the antenna high on the mast to prevent inac-
curate speed readings caused by excessive heeling. The unit will provide more stable
readings if it is located nearer to water level. Most marine VHF and LORAN antennas
should not seriously degrade the GPS antenna’s reception. It is recommended that
the antenna be mounted at least 3 ft. away from (preferably above) the path
of any radar beam or a VHF radio antenna. It is advisable to mount the antenna
temporarily in the desired mounting location until correct operation has been
verifi ed. If interference with other electronics is experienced, relocate the antennas
further apart. Never paint the GPS antenna or clean it with harsh solvents.
Mounting the GPS 17 with cable outside mount:
1. Place the cable in the vertical slot along the side of the base of the unit.
2. Screw the GPS 17 onto the mount. Make sure that you do not overtighten the head.
It is possible to tighten the unit to the point that the cable may be cut in two.
3. With the GPS 17 and mount installed, ll the remaining gap in the cable exit with a
marine sealant.
4. When running the cable, attempt to keep the cable away from sources of electronic
interference.
Mounting the GPS 17 with cable through mount:
1. Position the mount in the desired location and mark the approximate center of the
mount.
2. Drill a hole large enough for the cable to pass through.
3.
Slide the cable through the mount and screw the GPS 17 onto the mount.
4. Fasten the mount to the boat.
5. When running the cable, attempt to keep the cable away from sources
interference.
