Raymarine Pole Mount Adapter, For RS150 GPS Antenna, 1 in 14 TPI Thread

Overview

The Raymarine A80370 is a pole mount adapter for the Raymarine RS150 GPS antenna, giving the receiver a raised mounting position when a low-profile surface mount is not the right fit. It is made for RS150 installations where the antenna needs a clearer view of the sky from a hardtop, arch, rail-mounted pole, or other topside location.

The RS150 is a remotely mounted 72-channel GPS/GNSS sensor used with Raymarine navigation systems, and proper antenna placement matters on boats where canvas, electronics, metalwork, or cabin structure can affect reception. This mount helps place the antenna where it can work as intended without forcing the installer to use a flat deck or cabin-top surface.

Key features

• Fits the Raymarine RS150 GPS antenna for optional pole-mounted installations.
• Useful when the antenna needs to sit above a hardtop, radar arch, rail area, or other raised mounting point.
• Helps keep the RS150 positioned with a clearer overhead view for GPS/GNSS reception.
• Suited to new installations or refits where the original low-profile surface mounting location is not practical.
• Works as a dedicated mounting accessory, so installers do not need to adapt a generic bracket for the RS150 body.

Installation and setup

Use this mount when planning the RS150 antenna position before routing the network cable. A good location should give the antenna as much open sky as possible while keeping it away from heavy metal obstructions, high-power transmitting antennas, and places where lines, canvas, or deck gear can cover the receiver.

For most boats, the pole-mounted position makes sense on a hardtop, electronics arch, pilothouse roof, or another elevated area where the antenna can stay clear of foot traffic and deck wash. Check the pole location carefully so the antenna remains accessible for service but is not placed where it can be hit by crew movement, fishing gear, or sail handling equipment.

Compatibility and fit

This adapter is for the Raymarine RS150 GPS antenna. It should be matched with the RS150 receiver and the vessel’s planned mounting arrangement, rather than treated as a universal GPS antenna mount.

It is a practical match for owners adding an RS150 to a Raymarine navigation network, replacing a previous mounting setup, or moving the antenna from a flat surface to a raised position for better placement on board.
