GPS receiver on soft top.

[Peter Pakula]

Hi guys,

I have a 257 Advance with a Soft Top. I need to change the GPS which is in the middle of the soft top.

Are there any tricks to doing that without ripping the soft top?

Thanks in Advance (257)

Are you talking about the antenna? I am not sure what you are asking.

Yes, thanks the antenna. Different countries different terminology

Try to post a picture. Im not sure how it would be mounted on a soft top

I have an Advance 247 with a soft t-top. the frame that holds the canvass on has a block of vinyl that is screwed into the alum frame the gps antenna base is mounted onto the block and the antenna is then mounted to the antenna base.

Many of the Garmin antennas are either directly bolted to the top using three screws or are bolted to a mounted adapter that then threads onto a mounting pole. It should be easy to find the screws if no pole is used. The cable to the antenna is permanently connected to the antenna and therefore has to be rerun . That can be tricky if the wire routes through tubing
