Thread: Installing 898c si....

Where did you mount your external GPS reciever? Did you mount it directly to the boat or did you place in on some sort of rod or pole so it could get a better reading?

I already have a depth finder transducer on the starboard side... would it mess anything up if I put the si depth finder on the same side or should I put it on the port side? I read somewhere that the motor turning clockwise causes more turbulance to one side than the other so that is why I am curious. I am sure I am over thinking this...

Anybody got a G3 boat they have installed a depth finder on? Just curious how you ran the wires. I want to run the wires of my old depth finder to the front of the boat and the new depth finder to the console. I am just not sure where those wire channels go... esp to the front of the boat.

This is how I did mine. The pics are a little blurry but you get the idea. Put it back by the transducer and dosen't get in the way. Just have to remind the wife not to step on it.
