Comments about Garmin Garmin GPS 17x HVS High Sensitivity Receiver:
Easy to mount and connect to the Garmin Marine Network on the boat. Basically, other than the hassles of running the cable from the antenna to the chart plotter, it's a no brainer. Only con is the problem of the cable ends (connectors). Garmin should leave them off to facilitate pulling the cable through tight places on the boat.
