[Rhodes22-list] sounder senders

[Jay Friedland]

Joe,
Mounting the GPS unit on the outside bulkhead starboard side is where  
mine is mounted. I have power from my circuit panel and the connector  
from the sender unit all at counter level on the inside. There is  
enough length to bring the bundled cable to the mounting bracket  
outside. It has good visibility, good security and otherwise the  
cables are protected. Actually for mounting the bracket, I used  
several small washers to slightly skew the bracket towards port  
(maybe 15°) for better visibility in sun and with polarized  
sunglasses from the Captain's Chairs.
