ii GPS 17 Installation Guide
INTRODUCTION
Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations
may result in injury or property damage.
Use the GPS 17 only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt to use
the GPS 17 for any purpose requiring precise measurement of
direction, distance, location, or topography. This product should
not be used to determine ground proximity for aircraft navigation.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United
States government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy
and maintenance. The government’s system is subject to changes
which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS
equipment, including the GPS 17. Although the GPS 17 is a
precision navigation device, any navigation device can be misused
or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
Caution
Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations
could result in an accident or collision resulting in death or
serious injury.
When navigating, carefully compare information received from the
GPS 17 to all available navigation sources, including information
from street signs, visual sightings, and maps. For safety, always
resolve any discrepancies or questions before continuing
navigation.
Use an electronic chart in conjunction with the GPS 17 only to
facilitate, not to replace, the use of authorized government charts.
Official government charts and notices to mariners contain all
information needed to navigate safely.
WARNING: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects,
or reproductive harm. This Notice is being provided in accordance with California’s Proposition 65. If you have any questions or would like

2 GPS 17 Installation Guide
MOUNTING THE GPS 17
MOUNTING THE GPS 17
Thoroughly read and completely understand these
instructions before attempting the installation. When in
doubt, seek professional assistance.
You can use an antenna mount to install the GPS 17. The
receiver base fits a standard 1-inch, 14 threads-per-inch
marine mount. Check with your Garmin dealer or a marine
retailer for a suitable mount for the installation location.
Power to the receiver may be controlled by an on/off switch,
such as a switch on the control console. Check with your
Garmin dealer or a marine/electric retailer for this item.
Before permanently installing and wiring the GPS 17,
temporarily place the unit in the desired location, connect
the wiring, and then check operation with potential
interfering equipment turned on and off. Examples of
sources of interference are other electronic equipment, fan
motors, engine ignition, alternators, generators, radars, and
VHF radio transmissions.
If you find a problem with interference, try moving the
antenna a few feet away from the source of interference
to solve the problem. When a you find a suitable location,
permanently install the GPS 17.
Three common sources of interference for GPS units are
radar equipment, VHF radio antennas, and electromagnetic
interference from engine components.

MOUNTING THE GPS 17
Mounting Location Tips
• Position the receiver so that it has the clearest
possible view of the sky and horizon in all directions.
• Avoid mounting the antenna next to large areas of
conductive material (metal, aluminum, etc.) as this
may cause poor signal reception.
• Do not mount the GPS 17 high on a mast, as the top
of the mast travels more than the boat. The unit will
provide more stable readings if it is located near the
water level.
• When routing the wiring to the GPS 17, avoid routing
the cable near the vessel’s alternator or ignition
system components or parallel to other power lines.
• As a general rule, mount the receiver at least three
feet from all other antennas and the vessel’s electrical
system components (alternator/ignition system).
• The GPS 17 is supplied with a 30-foot power/data
cable. Be sure that the cable can be routed to the
necessary devices.
To flush mount the GPS 17:
1. Turn the GPS 17 upside down. To create a template,
punch a hole in the three mounting screw holes.
2. Use the template to mark the hole locations on the
mounting surface. The centers of the holes are 2.44”
(62 mm) apart. Use an 11/64” drill bit to drill a hole at
each marked location.
3. Align the GPS 17 over the three holes and fasten the
M4 screws. The threads are 8.10 mm deep: do not
use screws that will thread into the base any deeper,
as this may damage the GPS 17.

4 GPS 17 Installation Guide
MOUNTING THE GPS 17
To attach the enclosed pole to the base:
1. Thread the cable though the pole mount.
2. Align the tab on the pole to the notch on the base.
3. Use the enclosed screws to secure the pole to the
base.
Figure 2: Attaching the Pole Mount to the Base
To mount the GPS 17 with cable outside mount:
1. Place the cable in the vertical slot along the side of
the base of the unit.
2. Screw the GPS 17 onto the mount. Do not
overtighten: it is possible to tighten the unit to the
point that the cable may be cut in two.
3. Fill the remaining gap in the cable exit with marine
sealant.

GPS 17 Installation Guide 5
MOUNTING THE GPS 17
To mount the GPS 17 with cable through mount:
1. Position the mount in the desire location and mark
the approximate center of the mount
2. Drill a hole large enough for the cable to pass
through at the marked location.
3. Slide the cable through the mount and screw the
GPS 17 onto the mount.
4. Fasten the mount to the boat.
Figure 4: Running the Cable Through the Mount
Routing the Cable
You can shorten or coil excess cable and secure it in an
inconspicuous location. When routing the power/data cable,
try to avoid the following things:
• Sharp edges that can cut the cable.
• Routing the cable parallel to other power lines.
• Excessively twisting, straining or bending the cable.
6 GPS 17 Installation Guide
WIRING THE GPS 17
WIRING THE GPS 17
After mounting the GPS 17 in the desired location, connect
the wiring. Connect the GPS 17’s Port 1 Data In, Data Out,
Remote On/Off, and Ground (Return) lines to your NMEA
device or PC. Port 2 is used for RTCM input only.
For reliable communication, it is essential that the GPS
17 and the receiving device share the same ground. This
ground connection acts as the (signal) Return line. Wire
the unit to its own circuit to avoid interference from other
electronics.
You need a DB-9 or DB-25 serial connector (normally
female) if you are connecting the GPS 17 to a PC. Check
with a PC or electronics supplier for these items.
