Garmin NMEA 0183 Manual De Usuario

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 power/data cable through the pole or outside the pole.

1.  Route the power/data 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 power/data drop cable to the GPS 17x 

antenna.

4.  Place the GPS 17x antenna on the pole-mount 

adapter

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 power and a NMEA 

0183-compliant device (

page 4

).

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

 in. (19 mm) drill bit for the cable to pass through.

3.  Fasten the marine mount to the boat.
4.  Thread the pole-mount adapter onto the pole. Do not overtighten the adapter.

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.

  There are holes in the under-deck 

mounting bracket that can be used to 

secure the under-deck mount to the 

mounting surface with screws. Garmin 

does not recommend attaching the 

under-deck mounting bracket to the surface with screws, because of the likelihood that 

screws will extend beyond the top of the mounting surface. If you choose to use screws, do 

so with extreme care.
