    9. Place the chartplotter into the cutout. The four mounting studs should feed through the four mounting holes drilled in Step 8. 10. P lace the flat washers over the mounting studs, then thread the hex nuts onto the mounting studs. Tighten all four hex nuts evenly until the chartplotter is snug against the mounting surface. To install the GPS 17x antenna, select a suitable location, mount the antenna, and connect the antenna to power and to your GPSMAP 3000 series chartplotter. Mount the GPS 17x Antenna You can surface mount the GPS 17x antenna, attach it to a standard 1 in. OD pipe-threaded-pole marine mount (14 threads-per-inch—not included), or even install the antenna under fiberglass.
