I did check but nobody mentioned anything about the antenna placement.

We have done several Sirius units and put the antenna forward of the glove box lid between that and the windshield.

I put my Sirius antenna in the same spot as the hockey puck, but on the Driver's side ahead of the dash panel. I have also heard of others putting the newer antennas up under the bow hidden. they claim they still get reception up by the bow light, and they get on interference. The antenna is under the fiberglass there, and they claim, the signal goes right through the fiberglass. Just use a dynamat plate to enhance reception.

I had mine installed right in front of there next to the tower leg(front of the windshield). The antenna is approximately 12" tall.. I will take a picture when I get the boat out of the shop... The antenna also hit me for $150 large.

I put mine up under the stereo in the passenger storage area with no problem. Fiberglass will not screw up the reception. The only thing that might is people walking in front of the antenna. If you want, install it all the way upfront under the bow light.
