OK guys I need some help.  I just purchased a new Lowarnce depth finder/GPS unit.  Lowarnce's installation instructions and the parts provided, are just about worthless.  

There are no screws or bolts for mounting the unit or the GPS transmitter/reciver.  It looks like most of the mounting holes are 6mm

There are no clips to hold the cables, the ones at the auto store are either to big or to small.

There no intructions for mounting the GPS antena, other than it needs a clear view of the sky.

Anyone have any advice or experience?

Thanks

What kind of a boat & where are you going to mount it? What kind of an antenna is it?

The boat is a fiberglass boat and I plan on mounting the transducer on the back of the boat.  The antenna is one of the upside down saucer looking things.

Just installed LMS 480M with LGS 2000.  very simple to do.  you got shorted if there were no screws and nuts in the box.  as far as clips go, i think they assume you will use wire ties, they are cheap and easy to use.  the included owners manual has pretty good instructions.  one common mistake people make is that they assume power to the antenna comes from the unit.  the NMEA power and the unit power both must be connected to 12 volts and grounded.  the white wire from the unit power can be cut and taped reds from unit and NMEA together to 12 volts, blacks, and the nekid wire go to ground.  hope this helps.  

Thanks for the help

on the x-16 i have, we just ran the wires along with the steering cables.. and to the gps antenna we just took a piece of PVC pipe threaded one end to fit the antenna. then just stuck it in the cup holder. we could remove it as well, i didnt want it on all the time.

That works
