A suggestion for a new topic: Your Parker 2120 is now quite mature in terms of systems installs & mods. A 'tour' of all the electronic & electrical systems and the choices you have made in installing them would, I think, be very instructive. I haven't found such a 'tour' on your channel so far, so thought I would suggest it. Thanks for this video, too.
that is a great idea cap. i sure will in the near future, thanks for the suggestion 👍⚓
Love how far the boat has come. You are always looking for ways to improve thanks for bringing us along
Thanks cap. Is equipment that helps navigate better bit is always costing me more $$$ to get this Crooked PilotHouse to navigate straight lol
@@OutOnTheReef as long as the crooked pilot house is not navigating crooked and instead navigating straight we are ok
@@MiamiLiving305 lol cap.
This is the kind of random knowledge that a casual boater would never know, awesome video! I've always wondered my GPS always seemed to fluctuate when I get close to channel markers and I had autopilot following my old tracks!
Thanks cap. And this antenna has to be calibrated in the water and is very easy, thanks for watching cap 😉👍
Cap I absolutely love this video. I always hated the fact I would go right by a channel marker and my gps would say is farther away then is was. I had no idea could use another antenna source this is absolutely awesome and you did inside vs outside. Way to go captain
Thank you Richard and I'm glad you like the video it really helps us to compare And I want to share with you guys so you see the difference thanks for your positive feedback captain
@@OutOnTheReef Hi Capt... I hope you know how much we all appreciate your knowledge and willingness to share! Thank you!
This takes "Navigate Safe" to another level! You can also pinpoint those underwater reefs for bigger fishes! Great improvement, Captain!
I agree with you captain this is gonna make navigation a lot safer and better for those fishing great spots thanks for watching captain
Man you have all the new gadget's, I would never worry going boating with you. My little 16.7 only has me to watch. Cool
Thanks Rick i do this upgrades because i navigate far all the way to Bahamian islands so my equipment needs to be too shape, thanks for watching cap
Believe if it was me , I would have been looking for good location outside cabin up higher. If you need to drill a hole to run the coax cable in, then you seal it up with some caulk surely no problems. Regardless of how you want it, you have improved it. Thanks Capt.!
Thanks cap. And it works great inside too and it will last longer away from the elements 👍⚓️
Thanks for watching
Nice video Captain! Less holes in the boat is a good thing!
Lol cap. I agree 👍 💯
Always learn something from your videos. Thanks
Glad to hear it! Anon thanks for watching cap.👍👍
One more video with complete information and the good reason why we must upgrading gps antenna for more accurate navigation system also safety features.thanks captain.stay safe captain
Thank you captain and yes it makes a big difference I don't know why Carmen doesn't do this right up front whether GPS chartplotter
Nice video! Thanks for all good info.
Anytime arberto thank you for watching captain
Grate info as always 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for watching captain
Great info 👍🏾
Very useful info.
Thanks for watching
Hi Capt.... Thank you for this Super-Helpful video! Our last boat had an external GPS antennas mounted high above the flybridge, which did great. I've always wondered how good the reception is with the internal antenna on our Garmin 1040XS in our pilothouse. On occasion I've checked to see how many satellites I receive, but it never occurred to me to check the accuracy 'system/GPS' section of the plotter... I will do so today. By the way, at times, in very tight channels, the Garmin 1040XS has shown me 40+ feet off, up on land! Yes, really!
Thank you once again!
Wow captain 40' is a lot especially when it's raining or is cloudy the satellite strength are not the greatWow captain 40' is a lot especially when it's raining or is cloudy the satellite strength are not that great, Garmin do this chart plautter weak because they want you to purchase an external antenna to spend more money it's very sad that we have to go this route to get good accuracy they should do it right out of the market when they make this GPS chart Ploutter.
And please when you check let me know how was your accuracy without an external antenna
@@OutOnTheReef Hi Capt.... I learn something new with each of your videos! I did not know an external antenna was even an option with our Garmin 1040XS. The canal I live on is only 80' - 100' wide. The Garmin GPS will sometimes show the boat navigating through peoples back yards! I will check it this week, but I also want to check it when away from the house and out near some navigation marks... I'll let you know the results.... Thank you!
@@andrewfyakim525 wow cap. And yes let me know how it goes, we learn from each other 👍👍🛥⚓️
Great video Capi is incredible how important is that antenna especially for the markers excellent job 👍 . Navigate safe 👌.
You're right Johnny makes a huge difference thank you for watching and have an awesome day captain
capitan mi like 100% eres el mejor tremendo video para todas las personas que pesquen y naveguen ⚓️✨😎😀👍👍🐟🐟
Muchas gracias capitan tu tambien tienes muy buenos videos de enseñansa😉👍⚓️🛥
Great video very useful information to share with other people. Thanks Cappy.
Anytime Mark i love sharing what i know and i learn from other boaters too thanks for watching cap.
greeting 19:30 Indonesia .Lovely channel during my Breakfasting time..we here also installed indoor on most fishing boat Nice capt
Thank you captain and the installation indoors is probably the same as outdoors just a little bit less signal I think it's worth it to keep it indoors it will last forever thanks for watching doing your breakfast and have a extra cup of coffee from me☕️☕️
Great video, just installed the Garmin 24 XD to my 7612's. Hope I get same results you got.
Good luck! cap i love mine i hope it works great for you too
@OutOnTheReef heading to Bimini this Thursday, where I will be calibrating it for the first time. Will let you know.
@jreca Awesome, captain and have a great navigation. And enjoy your trip and I hope you and you antena works perfect.
Hi Capt... I'm 'reporting back' , as I promised.... Here are the results of our Garmin 1040XS.
To Start With; It was a clear day. I have no external antenna. The boat was on the boat-lift; not moving/not navigating. I tested it over a 30-40 minute period. The GPS was showing seven satellites the entire time, with VERY strong reception. And, it was consistently showing 7' to 8' accuracy-range. The worst it showed was 9'... BUT, here is the interesting (or crazy? unusual? scary? ) part. Like I said, I was on our boat-lift, on the east side of our canal. The GPS was showing our boat to be in the neighbors yard, over 120' to the west of me! The GPS is 'saying' only a 7' to 8' variance, yet I was shown to be at LEAST 80' away from where it said I was.... If I had been relying on the GPS coming into this 80' - 100' wide channel/canal. I would have ended up with the boat sitting up in my neighbors yard! (They would not like that! ☺)
Wow cap. Tha scary 😨 but posible that that day the internal antenna was mot working good because those satellites are always moving
Thanks for reporting and yes 7 to 8 is not bad but check some other time and you will see a huge difference cap.
Have a awesome day
@@OutOnTheReef Thanks Capt... will do....
WOW! It better be more accurate for $304.95! Nothing but the best for the "Crooked Pilothouse" Great info! Thanks for sharing! 😎👍⚓
Lol captain yes very expensive but is the only option and yes nothing better then great equipment to straightened my Crooked PilotHouse Boat 😁👍👍⚓️🛥
Awesome video Captain. 🙂👍
Thanks cap. For watching 😉👍
Good one cap. So happy we don’t need another hole in boat. 😁
Lol cap yes i have made too many 🤣 you know the feeling 😉👍
Did the gps antenna give you radar overlay on your charts. Or was that feature there already? Thanks Capt
hey Captain. love the channel. question- do you know if I should install the Garmin 24xd external antenna and a Garmin steady cast antenna or does the 24xd do it all? I have a center console , thanks for your great videos.
Hello cap
Im not sure because i only have the external antenna installed and is fast and accurate specially wen powering on the unit is fast loading, thanks for being part of my channel cap ,hope this helped
Right on Capt. Sweet sled! Thanks for doing this it was exactly the info I was looking for. I have the same MFD as you in my boat. Its installed in a custom console that is mounted overhead with a fiberglass hard top over it. When I'm offshore I keep getting intermittent "satellite signal lost " warnings and the chart plotter will completely stop tracking me. Very frustrating when you cant see land. Again, its an intermittent loss of satellites. It sometimes looses signal for several hours before it regains a connection or signal and starts working again... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and so on.. Seems like the farther offshore I go the more it looses its signal. Weird, I know. I've confirmed the chart plotter is operating on the latest version of software etc .. I've lost trust in the internal antenna so I started exploring options and stumbled across your video here. . I'm thinking I need this external GPS antenna as my display doesn't have a clear view of the sky. Looks like a plug and play installation for the most part. I already have the nmea 2000 network to plug into too. Thanks for the upload I'm going give this a try and hope this works for me!
Awesome cap. And yes try it you won't regret it, i love how mine performs, before it too about 2 minutes To find the satellite at startup But after I install the external antenna right away it works it's incredible you'll love a captain and remember if you want to Help me make more this video if you use the link of my Amazon on the discussion below it will get me a commission and I'll be able to make more videos and if you do let me know so I can thank you , Thank you for watching my channel captain if I can help in any other way please let me know navigate safe👍⚓️🛥
@@OutOnTheReef Right on! Will do Captain. Thank you!
@@tonyalan187 anytime cap.👍⚓️🛥
Nice capitan thanks. God bless.
Thanks, you too! have a great night Saul😉👍⚓
Hey mate just curious couldnt you use the garmin auto pilot sensor to interface with mfd?
I bought a raymine150 n retured it got rec 40 with 2l pump..since i have 8412xsv.
Great content ,super love ut and appreciate what you do.
Hello cap. Im not sure i would give garmin a call they are really good with that information. Hope the best cap.
Afternoon Cap, does the internal antenna support GLONAS? I noticed in the video it was off but the external antenna had it on. Curious if the additional satellites would make the difference in the dilution of precision (variance)? Great informative video regardless.
You have a good point captain I will check that out and see if it's any different thank you so much for your advice, I really appreciate a captain
New Subscriber to your channel. Just wanted to say thanks for all your videos. Garmin should give you a referral bonus because I bought a Garmin Chartplotter and an AutoPilot set-up because of your recommendation. I'm also gonna pull the trigger on an external antenna. I'm near Davie, maybe sometime we can get together and talk boating and installation. I'm going to do the install myself. Appreciate any advise.
That is awesome captain and hopefully one day they'll see my videos it was and remember that using my links to purchase your items and Amazon helps me to make more videos Amazon will give me a commission and helps me make more of these types of videos captain really appreciate your help
🤜🤛👍👍👍 nice work
Thanks cap😉👍
Hi Capt... another update; I'm sure I would benefit with an external antenna, like you suggested.... Today I was out on the boat for about 6 hours. The Garmin 1040XS was receiving 12-13 satellites most of the day, and with strong signals. The GPS was showing only 21-22' accuracy. Since that could be in all directions around the boat, it means I could be 42-44' off course of where it was showing me to be. That would be no big deal today as I was mostly in the wide-open waters of the Pungo River and Pamlico Sounds, but coming back into our canal, it would not be reliable at night..... Interestingly, the GPS was showing only 21-22' accuracy, but when doing so, it WAS showing me in the center of the canal as I was coming in....
Hello cap. And that is weird that it was off 22 feet but it was right at center, that is hard to understand, thanks for the update, and as i use my internal antenna i will keep you posted an how accurate it is and if is worth getting 1 for your boat ,have a awesome night cap. From OOTR🛥👋
That's a cool antenna.
Thanks cap it does 👍⚓️
Hi Captain, I just purchased the Garmin Steadycast heading sensor that I will hook up to the NMEA 2000 for my Garmin 1223XSV. I would like to hook up an external antenna as well. Is there an antenna without the heading sensor combined with it? Hope all is well.
Hello John I am not sure captain if there's one without it but but if you have this 1 install would it wouldn't mess up your heading you think you think with all the other equipment?
Unrelated to this vid, but we’re curious what insurance co you use for your Parker? We have a 22’ c-dory we’d like to take to the Bahamas but some companies won’t offer Bahamas coverage for this size boat.
Hello my insurance does not cover me neither but that does not stop me from going to bahamas, hardly no company will cover you because of size and not having more then 1 engine, and if you want you insurance to make them cover you, you ha e to make a flotilla witch is a group of boat going together and they will cover you , most insurance do, hope thos helps cap.
Very important in a pilot house when you have less visibility
I agree cap accuracy is a must👍🛥
Would be helpful when fishing next to a marine fish reserve
Yes is more accurate then not having it ,is a shame that GPS chartplotter companies dont add this system with their units
Very good video. let me ask you something. Do I need to calibrate the GPS to use this antenna ? If I do need , how can i do it ?
There's this collaboration and it's really easy to do I just don't remember now how to do it but you have to be on the water but it's very simple cap
Do they have an antenna with a heading sensor? Like this the chart plotter would show both your actual heading and when stationary your drift.
Yes this one does too cap. Check out the link in the description below and you will see the specs 👍👍
Hi Capt. What size is that Garmin Chart plotter, is it a 743 or 943?
hello cap is the 943 cap
So, how many antennas do you have overall? Do you have one for the autopilot and one for your chart plotter?
yes one for the VHF another for the GPS and another for the autopilot cap.
A lot of the new sharp waters have built-in, GPS antennas
Yes mine too but they are weaker because manufacturer want you to buy the external one so they can make more money, they are smart
👍
GOOD ONE SKIPPER, GOOD ADVICE,,,KEEP SAFE..
Thanks Bob have a awesome day cap
@@OutOnTheReef bro i have important question to you about battery can power electric trolling motor or other boat components or monitor, is portable power station or solar generator they called like bluetti, jackery or ecoflow do think will work in minkotta trolling motor better?
@@madara12regio not sure cap i have never used those but for sure the batteries i used are awesome and fair price too
@@OutOnTheReefsolar generator like ecoflow mostly use by campervan that have portable freezer or refrigerator, it can power also all regular number of appliances in house in 12 hours, and most importantly in can fully charge within more than 3 to 4hours via foldable 400watts solar panel.
@@madara12regio that is a awesome system cap. I have not seen it yet.
Tha ks for sharing it
Hi capitán 👋👋🇵🇷🇵🇷👍
Lol saludos
It’s 6.5 feet because you have WAAS and GPS together whereas the other guy just had GPS on. I get 5 feet having WAAS, GPS and GLONASS on.
Thanks for your comment, captain. Appreciate it.
The difference between 6.5 feet and 5.4 feet is 9.8%. Almost a foot, that is a big difference. :)
Yes and idk if installing the antenna in the center of the boat helps maybe but either way good upgrade did not know you can buy this antenna thanks
Thanks captain😉👍
Hi wich gps do you have?
hello German i place the link in the description bellow cap. i hop it helps
Interesante bendito yo no gps ni siquiera uno viejo y soy pescador. Jajaja
Jajaja saludos Edwin gracias por ver mis videos cap.
Didn’t even know that that’s crazy 20ft of variance
Yes is pretty crazy cap.the equipment upgrades never ends lol
You don't want to go bump in the night.
Very true cap
knowing the internal antenna is that much off, they should give you the external antenna.
That is true captain I agree with you a 100% that's why this company's do these things poorly that way later you have to spend more money to make it function better it's all about making more money for this company very sad I agree with you
Just a sugestion: don't use mask while making videos! It seems not friendly!
I know buddy is just i like to keep my privacy but i understand 100 %
Are you a bank robber?
Im a little nuts thats all 🤣⚓️🛥
Dude. Why the face cover ? Especially if you’re explaining electrical info. Sometimes it is hard to understand you…
Are you running from the police ? Just wondering…
It's more like running away from immigration 😆 lol
Ur silly… I’m in process of figuring out our wiring and jesus is killing me with this lil girl. She’s a cute sweet boy glides comfortably on the water but whomever had her before the previous owners Wow…🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
@@elsamach5616 wow i hope you get it done And yes when you have previous owners on a boat you do not know what it did on your boat work😬
Lose the lame mask.
lol thanks for watching
