Installation

The GPS 125 Sounder must be properly installed

according to the following instructions to get the best
possible performance.

To begin installation, you’ll need to select a suitable

mounting position for the antenna, unit and transducer
(see right). Once you’ve identified the best mounting
location, install the antenna, transducer, and cable first,
and then the unit and wiring harness.

Choosing an Antenna Location

The antenna should be mounted in a location that

has a clear, unobstructed view of the sky in all direc-
tions to ensure the best reception in all conditions.
Avoid mounting the antenna where it will be shaded by
the boat’s superstructure, a radome antenna, or mast.
Most marine VHF and loran antennas will not seriously
degrade the GPS antenna’s reception. Never paint the
antenna or clean it with harsh solvents.
