I thought they worked through the fiberglass as well.
I was on the phone with Pure Energy the other night and told him to try it. The signal dropped completely.
What kind of units are you guy's putting under the dash that is working?
Last I heard Ken was trying to find the house from the back yard

I added a new Garmin GPS to my 24 Baja Outlaw. It came with an antenna that I chose not to use, and bought a flush mounted antenna directly from Garmin to use instead. I moved my light pole on my Outlaw from the center of the back of the boat to the port side corner in the back, and mounted the antenna in its place, reusing the existing hole to pass wires through. It's a great setup. I just have to remind folks not to use it as a handle when they're climbing back up onto the sundeck from the swim platform.
