Does anyone have XM on their pontoon, if you do where did you mount the antenna?
My Polk radio is XM ready if I order a XM 300XMV receiver.

My antennae is a disk. It's mounted on the outboard side of the helm close to the top, yet sort of out of sight.

I mounted my XM antenna in front of the windscreen, slightly towards the starboard side. Zero interference and sounds great! :nana

I looked up what you are installing and could not find it. This is all you need if your head unit is sirius xm ready
