GPS Antenna

Guys,
i just upgraded to a 998 c si bird and I'm going to run it at the console. I can't wait!!! My question is I'm looking at two places to mount the antenna and want to know what yall think and where you have yours mounted. I'm looking mounting it front of my console and the other place right behind the drivers seat. I'm trying to put in a place where it is out of the way. I had also thought about buying a bracket and mounting it behind the unit. Please let me know guys.Attachment 180786Attachment 180787Attachment 180788

Is it a HS puck? Heading sensor.

You should mount it where it will have a clear unobstructed view of the sky/satellites for the best accuracy.

It is AS GR50

In that case Jimp has you covered !

Ok thanks.

You should mount it as close to the transducer as possible with a good view to sky.

Lynn,
I would try to mount the antenna as close to the transducer as possible. That way you will have a more accurate waypoint location with what you are seeing/marking from the transducer. I have always been told that the farther apart the two are, the less accurate your waypoint locations may be.
Hope this helps.

Thanks all! I had never thought about like that Ricky and Paul!! :ThumbsUp This saves me a lot of time. Thanks again!!

Thank you all. I got it mounted back by the motor on the deck. :biggrin

Good deal! Congrats on the new Humminbird!

Thanks Paul

Thank you all. I got the bird mounted last night and placed the GPS antenna at the back deck by the transducer. I can't wait to get out on the water with it.

Looks great. Can't wait to get my new Bird mounted and on the water :)

Looks good Lynn, I sent my 899 in last week for the 800 khz washout problem. I should have it back this week.
