ABSTRACT:
A GPS-fitted small watercraft in which one or more GPS antennas are attached to the watercraft in a manner that provides good protection from waves and good signal reception. For a watercraft having a hull member and a deck member joined together at their perimeters, with a gunwale formed at and protruding outwardly from the joined perimeters, the GPS antenna(s) is mounted inwardly from the gunwale on the deck or hull member. Alternatively, the GPS antenna(s) may be mounted to an outside or inside surface of the deck member, on a pad located on a set of handlebars, near a grip of the handlebars, atop or inside a small cargo hatch, on a hatch beneath the handlebars, on a grab bar behind a seat of the watercraft, on a top surface of a bulwark, or on a side wall of the watercraft between the gunwale and a chine of the hull member, either on the inside or outside.
