Furuno GPA017 GPS Antenna w/ 10m Cable

The Furuno GPA017 GPS Antenna with 10m Cable is a professional-grade positioning solution built for serious mariners who demand reliable navigation in open water. Whether you're running coastal surveys, offshore fishing expeditions, or long-distance cruising, this antenna integrates seamlessly with Furuno navigation systems to deliver consistent satellite acquisition and fix integrity when it matters most. The extended 10-meter cable run allows flexible mounting on larger vessels, tower structures, or elevated locations where signal reception is optimized away from radar and radio interference.

Engineered to Furuno's exacting marine specifications, the GPA017 antenna features a compact, weather-sealed design rated for constant saltwater exposure, UV degradation, and the thermal cycling inherent to extended sea time. The 10-meter cable assembly comes factory-terminated and tested, eliminating field termination errors and reducing installation labor. Compact overall dimensions (8 x 3 x 10 inches) and a light 1.3-pound weight make it ideal for retrofit installations where space and load considerations are critical. The antenna's low-profile footprint minimizes wind loading and radar cross-section impact on performance vessels.

Boaters operating Furuno chartplotters, autopilot systems, or integrated navigation suites will find the GPA017 a drop-in replacement or primary positioning source that restores or enhances system accuracy. Installation requires a clear sky view and a compatible Furuno GPS receiver; the 10-meter cable accommodates tower, hardtop, or cabin-top mounting with minimal routing complexity. Commercial fishing vessels, research platforms, and cruising sailboats benefit most from the redundancy and proven reliability this antenna provides across extended offshore operations and demanding coastal navigation scenarios.
