1.  Screw the antenna directly onto the 1

"

 x 14-thread mount.

2.  Route the cable to the mounting location of the unit. Use the 

appropriate tie-wraps, fasteners, and sealant to secure the 

cable along the route and through any bulkhead or deck.

3.  After the GPSMAP 198C Sounder unit is installed, connect 

the cable to the antenna connector on the back of the unit. 

Make sure that you turn the antenna cable connector 1/4 

turn clockwise to lock the cable into place.

The GPSMAP 198C Sounder’s compact, waterproof case is 

suitable for mounting in exposed locations or at the nav station. 

The unit comes with a gimbal bracket that can be used for surface 

or overhead mounting. When choosing a location for the unit, 

consider the following conditions:

•  There should be at least a 3" (7 cm) clearance behind the 

case to allow connection of the antenna and power/data 

cables.

•  The mounting surface should be heavy enough to support the 

unit and protect it from excessive vibration and shock.
