What are the problems I'm going to run into mounting the external GPS antenna that comes with the Humminbird 797cSI unit for the console of my '97 PT 18? There isn't much flat space to the right of the windshield and I figure I'll use up most of that with the unit.
Don't know a thing about GPS yet, so I'm open to any kind of advice. I was going to wait until January for the same unit that will be coming out with an internal antenna, but the more I read, the more I read about how much better the external antennae perform.
I guess I could run a wire back through the throttle control unit and mount the antenna right behind my seat on the flat deck, but I do fish with a clumsy buddy who has been know to kick a tackle box overboard when riding shotgun back there, so am a little leery of that approach.
Any advice out there?
