Zipwake External GPS W/ 5M Cable & Mount Kit

The optional Zipwake External GPS Antenna is a 5Hz, 20-channel receiver with excellent reception that provides accurate and rapid vessel position and speed updates.
Vessel speed data is a necessary input for the Zipwake’s automatic motion controller.

The antenna has a rugged construction, is fully waterproof and can be pole or surface mounted on any vessel.

This external GPS is optional and intended to be used when a strong GPS signal is not available for the GPS receiver built into the Control Panel — for example, when the vessel has just one helm station with a shielding top (roof) and lacks other accessible GPS sources. In this case, an external GPS antenna is a good solution.

Its 5 m cable can be extended up to 15 m using Zipwake extension cables. It connects easily to the connector marked EXT GPS on the back of the control panel.
The external GPS can be connected to any control panel installed in the system.
