I'm more concerned about having something on my deck that looks like mushrooms growing, here in Vermont all the deadheads, phish fans and the " Nothing wrong with that "crowd would try to munch it.

you can also mount it in the cabin out of site, just have to mess with it a little bit to see where it gets the best position, then not on the dash. You can also take and drill the hole a little bit bigger that the shaft so the mushroom will sit flat and epoxy it in, or caulk it in as well.

Before you do anything, try hooking it up under the dash, as high as you can. Zip-tie it in and take a trip around the block on the trailer to test. I am not exactly sure where the one on my AT/C is mounted, but it is inside somewhere, and I have NEVER had a problem locating/tracking satellites.

Re: Garmin GPS receiver locations
I put mine under the dash on my Fountain it works plenty good enough, I did notice a slight decrease in signal only like 10% but it works fine. I also put the black one on my PQ on the surface. I painted it white first with no problems.
