The receiver
To mount the DSM 132 receiver:
4. Drill four holes in the mounting surface. Use the slotted holes in
the mounting brackets as a template.
5. Use screws to secure the brackets to the mounting surface.
Note – If you use machine screws, tap the mounting holes to
fasten the receiver to the mounting surface. Trimble
recommends that you use 8-32 UNF socket head cap screws.
Alternatively, use self-tapping screws.

The antenna
Mount the GPS antenna so that it has a clear view of the sky even
when the vessel is rolling. Ensure that it is safe from damage during
normal operation; that is, mount the antenna solidly for the worst-case
pitch, roll, and heave of the vessel.
The base of the rover antenna has a 1" UNC female thread. A steel
pipe with a male 1" UNC thread is a suitable pole mounting for the
antenna.
