The GPSMAP 198C Sounder must be properly installed according 

to the following instructions to get the best possible performance. 

To complete the installation, you need the appropriate fasteners and 

a 1" x 14-thread marine antenna mount available at most marine 

dealers. 

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 is shaded by the 

boat’s superstructure, a radome antenna, or mast. Sailboat users 

should avoid mounting the antenna high on the mast to prevent 

inaccurate speed readings caused by excessive heeling. Most 

marine VHF and LORAN antennas should not seriously degrade 

the GPS antenna’s reception. Never paint the antenna or clean it 

with harsh solvents.

Suggested locations for mounting the external antenna.

The Garmin antenna screws directly onto any standard 1" x 14-

thread antenna mount. If you need to raise the antenna to avoid 

shading, try using a 1" x 14-thread extension mast available at most 

marine dealers.
