A good place to mount the gps module is under the dash. Put the velcro on top of the gps puck and stick it under the dash. If you are sitting in the drivers seat, there is a flat area in the upper left corner if you are looking at the dash from a bird's eye view. I mounted it this way in my 06 OBV and got a gps signal in my garage with the doors closed, and never had an issue on the water.

On my 2007, the gps in mounted right on the upper part of the dash under neath the windshield. I'd be affraid to put it underneath the dash because it may not get a signal very well but that was never tested. It's a tad bit of an eye sore to some people maybe... but to be honest, I haven't even thought about it being their unti l I read this thread.
The Stargazer GPS version is so much better than the old paddle wheel version I use to have on my Supra. There is no surging with the GPS version, it works awesome! No comparison to the Moomba cruise. Stargazer was the first upgrade I purchased for my boat and can't even imagine having to drive or wakeboard without it.2007 Moomba LSV

I ended up mounting it under the dash. It takes 8 seconds for the GPS to lock in .vs 6 seconds when it was above the dash. I can live with that.
The only complaint that I have with the GPS version of Perfect Pass is that it does not take river current into consideration. I wakeboard on a river that has 1.5 MPH of current so I need to compensate and adjust the speed every time I change direction. Grrrrr....2008 Outback V - gravity III ballasts, perfect pass star gazer, hydraulic wake plate, depth finder, water stainer, rad-a-cage tower, board racks, tower mirror, bimini top, audio package d, graphics package e, appearance package, cockpit & tonneau cover, mooring cover, black stainless rubrail, docking lights, OJ 14.25x14.0 prop.

I would have thought the paddle-wheel version would not be able to compensate for river current, but that the GPS would.
If the current was 2mph, if the paddle wheel is spinning at the same rpm all the time, then I would think the downstream real speed is 2mph faster than indicated. Conversely, the GPS is based on satellte positioning, so no matter how fast or slow the current, the indicated speed is always the real speed. So going downstream, the engine is not working as hard to go the same speed. How would a GPS not keep accurate speed because of river current?2006 Outback V - Gone
