Mounting tips
Check the thread. Most marine VHF, GPS, and TV antennas use a standard 1"-14 thread.
Plan the fold-down. A ratchet mount lets you lower the antenna for bridges, trailering, storage, and covers. Check clearance through the full swing before drilling.
Back it properly. An 8-foot antenna puts real leverage on its mount in wind and waves. Use backing plates or through-bolts on thin decks and hardtops, and bed fasteners with marine sealant.
Confirm antenna thread, length, and weight, plus the mounting surface and fasteners.
