The Defender Warehouse sale is here and I am ordering a Vesper XB-8000 at a great price. I have to fill out a program sheet asking where the antenna will be located on the boat. The problem is I am not sure yet. I'm sure I'm not the first to be in this predicament. I have my Garmin GPS located on the port pushpit so I was thinking of installing the AIS GPS on the opposite side but I saw a how-to video and the base is designed to mount flush to a flat surface so now I'm thinking of the top of my Nav station inside. I have a Bluetooth GPS puck that I've used for my older iPad that has worked flawlessly in that same location. Anyone see any issues with that? How accurate do I need to be with the A,B,C & D dimensions on the program sheet? My guess is if I were a 200' fishing vessel then the mounting location would be more important than a 39' sailing vessel.
Any advise is appreciated!!!
