Raymarine GA200 GPS Antenna, IPX6, IPX7, 10 m Cable, Surface or Pole Mount

Overview

The Raymarine A80589 is an external GA200 GPS antenna for improving GPS/GNSS reception on compatible Raymarine chartplotters, AIS receivers, and fixed-mount VHF radios. It is used when the display or radio needs a cleaner satellite view than its built-in receiver can get from the helm, electronics box, cabin, or another partially shielded mounting location.

The GA200 supports GPS and GLONASS reception through the connected compatible Raymarine unit and comes with a fitted 10 m (33 ft) cable. Its compact 85 mm (3.35 in) diameter housing can be surface mounted or pole mounted, which makes it practical for hardtops, arches, radar masts, and other locations with a better view of the sky.

For marine exposure, the antenna carries IPx6 and IPx7 waterproof ratings and operates from 0°C to +55°C (+32°F to +131°F). At 0.5 kg (1.1 lb) including the cable, it is light enough for small-console installations while still giving larger boats a dedicated external antenna location for navigation electronics.

Key features

• External GPS/GNSS antenna for compatible Raymarine multifunction displays, AIS receivers, and VHF radios.
• Supports GPS and GLONASS reception through the connected compatible Raymarine equipment.
• 10 m (33 ft) fitted cable gives useful routing length from a hardtop, arch, rail area, or mast location back to the electronics connection point.
• Surface or pole mounting options help place the antenna where it has a clearer view of the sky.
• IPx6 and IPx7 waterproof ratings suit exposed marine locations subject to rain, spray, and washdowns.
• Compact 85 mm (3.35 in) diameter housing with a 34 mm (1.34 in) height, or 70 mm (2.76 in) height when used with the pole mount adaptor.
• Compatible with Raymarine Axiom Pro, Axiom 2 Pro, Axiom XL, Axiom 2 XL, selected eS Series and a Series displays, AIS5000, AIS4000, AIS700, AIS350, AIS650, AIS500, AIS950, Ray90, Ray91, Ray63, Ray73, and Ray53 units.

Installation and setup

Mount the GA200 where it has the best practical view of the sky and is clear of major obstructions from hardtops, windscreens, radar arrays, and metal structure. On many boats, the best location is above the helm area, on an electronics arch, or on a short antenna pole where the cable can be routed cleanly into the console or equipment space.

The fitted 10 m cable helps reduce the need for immediate cable splicing or extension on many center consoles, cruisers, and sailboats. When planning the run, allow room for service loops, drip loops, and strain relief so vibration and deck movement do not load the connector or the antenna base.

Compatibility and fit

This antenna is intended for compatible Raymarine equipment that uses an external antenna to improve reception for an internal GPS/GNSS receiver. It is a good match for boats where the main display, AIS unit, or VHF radio is installed below a hardtop, inside a cabin, or in a location where the built-in receiver does not have a strong sky view.

For networked navigation systems, confirm that the connected Raymarine unit supports the GA200 before installation. It is not a general NMEA 2000 GPS sensor for supplying position data to unrelated networks, so fit should be checked against the specific chartplotter, AIS, or VHF model on board.

Marine use

The GA200 suits coastal cruising, offshore fishing, sailing, and general navigation setups where dependable position reception matters for chartplotting, AIS operation, and radio features tied to vessel position. Its low profile keeps the installation tidy on modern consoles and hardtops, while the pole mount adaptor gives more flexibility when the antenna needs to be raised for a better signal path.

What’s included

• GNSS antenna with 10 m (33 ft) captive cable.
• Antenna pole mount adaptor.
• Antenna gasket.
• Antenna fixings, including 3 M3x40 studs and thumb nuts.
