Sierra 68982P GPS Receiver, 4 ft. Cable, NMEA 0183 Output for Marine Instruments

The Sierra 68982P is a marine GPS receiver with a 4 foot cable, designed to feed accurate positioning data into compatible marine instrumentation, multi-function gauges, and GPS speedometers. It uses a highly sensitive receiver that continues to deliver precise information output even when mounted under a fiberglass console or bimini top, where signal reception can otherwise be a challenge. The housing has a durable exterior built to hold up to the marine environment.

Once installed, the 68982P updates once every second, outputting accurate NMEA 0183 data that downstream gauges and displays can read for speed, position, and navigation functions. Its compact design and 4 foot cable length make it straightforward to route and mount out of the way while keeping a clear view of the sky for reliable signal acquisition. This receiver is the shorter-cable version in Sierra's GPS receiver lineup; a 25 foot cable version (68755P) is also available as a separate part for installations needing a longer run.
