Looking to install a TZT12F display recess mount in my helm. The slightly tilted back from vertical panel into which this will mount is nominal 1/8" aluminum plate. The TZT12F display will be at the top of this panel with solid fiberglass of the helm console above this location, and a surface mount factory drinkholder on top of the helm console above where the Furuno unit will be installed. There is then only a fabric bimini top above the entire helm. My question is, will the internal GPS antenna in the TZT12F unit function properly in this recessed install situation or does it truly need "clear view of the sky"?
