GPS antenna plastic cover

[Juan Tascon]

Hello,

I have a Yamaha 2016 AR240

I am looking just for the plastic cover of this antenna. Where Cain I find it?
The antenna is working fine, it is just the outside plastic round cover I need to replace since my kid broke it so it isn’t worth to pay for the entire unit.
could you suggest where to find it? An used on would be good also. Please let me know. Thanks!

You might want to try this company. I believe they provided the GPS Receiver to Yamaha. GM-88U ~ SAN JOSE TECHNOLOGY, INC.
Also, great lakes skipper seems to have a gm-88K for about $120 as well.

Following, my cover broke off too. It’s all superglued back together but not sure how long it will last. Let us know if find a replacement cover or a reasonable price on a new complete unit.

Cover is not available seperate. You would have to make your own

 

[JetBoatPenguin]

How many people need a new cover or spare? I may have an opportunity to get a bunch of covers. I've estimated 10 to help cover off the community . . . but if you may need one let me know. No guarantees at this point. A resource is checking if they can send them over as replacements separately.

I would buy a few spares if price is right

 

[Rod5]

Awesome!! I would buy two of they are reasonable.

 

[JetBoatPenguin]

Sounds good. Will let you know what they say.

I would be interested too. Mine flew off day one, fashioned a sad looking cover from a sour cream container.

I would get one for a spare

Still lobbying the manufacturer at the moment...

 

[Beachbummer]

How visible is it? Tinkercad and a submission to a 3D printer may also result in an acceptable replacement. There are some artifacts in a 3D printed item, but may be better than a cracked cover if the manufacturer does not come through.

Best of Luck!

 

[JetBoatPenguin]

I think 3d printing might be a good option as well...especially because we could also do colors....as a mod.

 

[Joshua Miller]

I need one too. Same thing, kid cracked the cover while cleaning the boat. Thanks!

 

[JetBoatPenguin]

So the manufacturer came back and said no go . . . I think we'll have to look at the 3D printing option. Pretty sure they want to sell the bull options. Sorry everyone . . . I tried with the manufacturer.

I replaced my damaged one with a new one. I am planning to take the broken one to a plumbing supplier to see is something like a pvc end cap or similar will come close enough to modify

 

[Beachbummer]

I don't have the cap, (wrong boat) but if someone takes a caliper to take some measurements I can try something simple in tinker cad so you guys can decide if it's close enough to make it worthwhile to print.

I would purchase one! I need it!

Anyone ever resolve this? After trailering the boat, my cover blew off.
Guess the best option is the Ranger part number listed above.

I think I found the manufacturer for it (same as above thread) and contacted them to ask if they could sell the cover or parts of it. They said they would get back to me but from the threads above, I don't think they'll sell just the cover.
The detentions are 80MM x 25MM and in the spec in the link. Again looks like the right GPS antenna to me and I measure about the same diameter on my plate under the (lost) cover.

If you could make a cover, something tells me there's several others that could benefit from it. Obviously glad to purchase one from you glue it in place and be on my way!
