Other question: If mounted right against the boat's window (about 6"
high x 2 feet long) will the unit be able to aquire satellites well enough
to use the anchor drag alarm, or will an external antenna be needed?


In that case it's more a question of the material from which the cabin
is constructed. If it's not metal or metal shielded, it should do fine
through the cabin.

A 6" * 2 feet window is quite small - too small for reliable operation,
I'd say - even on the water.
