On most fiberglass boats, plan on securing it with a separate mounting method that keeps the antenna flat and prevents the cable from chafing or getting pinched.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote antenna placement helps maintain GPS reception when the unit is flush-mounted, under a hardtop, or in a pilothouse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMCX connector for compatible Garmin devices that accept an external GPS antenna input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttached cable about 3 m (9.5 ft) long for flexible routing to a better mounting spot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in magnetic mount for quick mounting on steel surfaces such as brackets, rails, or other ferrous metal structures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAntenna-only accessory that relies on the GPS receiver in the connected device.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote GPS antenna with built-in magnetic mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttached cable (about 3 m \/ 9.5 ft) terminated with an MCX connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis antenna connects to compatible Garmin GPS devices that accept an external antenna through an MCX-style port, often labeled EXT GPS. Confirm your device has the correct antenna connection before ordering, since Garmin uses different connector types across product families.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a direct antenna connection, not a network sensor, so it does not interface with NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183 by itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eMount the antenna where it has the clearest possible view of the sky and where it will stay in place in spray and vibration. Keep it away from strong RF sources and electrical noise, and route the cable away from high-current DC wiring runs to reduce the chance of interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen passing the cable through a bulkhead or deck, protect it with a grommet and leave a drip loop where appropriate so water does not track along the cable toward electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWho it suits on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis antenna is a practical match for boats where the GPS unit sits behind a metal windshield frame, inside a console, or below a hardtop that limits satellite visibility. It also fits refits where you want to improve reception without relocating the display or cutting a new mounting hole.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269019070645,"sku":"QBP801824","price":31.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1298710_qbp801824.jpg?v=1771541486","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp801824","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
