Installation

If a problem is found, try altering the location of the 

unit or wiring. Often moving the receiver a few feet away 
from the source of interference will solve the problem. 
When a suitable confi guration is found, a permanent instal-
lation should be made. Select the mounting location accord-
ing to your preferences. Keep in mind that from this mount-
ing location cables will be routed to the NMEA 0183 
listening device. Since mounting needs will vary, here are a 
couple basic methods:

Mounting the GPS 16 with magnetic mount:

1.   Align the magnetic mount, with the protective coating 

facing away from the unit base, with the 3 screw holes 
on the bottom of the receiver.

2.   Insert and tighten the 3 screws.

3.   Place the receiver on a clean, metallic surface and 

route cable accordingly.

Flush mounting the GPS 16:

1.   With the receiver upside down, using a piece of paper, 

punch holes at the 3 screw locations to create a 
template.

2.   Use the template to mark and drill holes large enough 

for the screw to pass through at the marked location.

3.   Align the receiver over the 3 holes and fasten the 

screws. The M4 thread inserts for the GPS 16 are 
8.10mm deep. Do not use screws that will thread 
into the receiver any deeper, as this may damage the 
receiver.

Three common sources of interference for GPS units 

are:

Radar

ABOVE- OK

BELOW- OK

EMI

SS JAYHA

WK

3'

VHF Radio Antenna

Radar

EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) from engine components

When routing the power/data 
cable, try to avoid:
•  Sharp  edges  which  may  cut  the               
 cable.
• Routing the cable parallel to    
  other power lines.
• Excessively twisting, straining 
  or bending the cable.
