Where did you install your vhf antenna?

#1 Post by Bugsbunnyboater » Mon Jul 07, 2014 10:21 pm

I am looking for a good place to install a vhf antenna in my sweetwater pontoon boat.
I am thinking mount it to the console.
Any good ideas or suggestions.

This works for me. Of coarse VHF is mostly line of sight and it varies. But this was easy and simple, out of the way up or down, and it works.

I attached mine to the Bimini top, and ran the coax through the Bimini frame. It works great, and it gets out pretty good too.
