It is designed for use with 1-1\/2 inch antennas, and it ships with a 1 inch reducing adapter and a 1-1\/8 inch reducing adapter so it can also secure 1 inch and 1-1\/8 inch diameter antennas. The bracket can be used together with Shakespeare 407 swivel mounts, which are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bracket is finished in white plastic that is corrosion resistant, making it well suited to the marine environment. Its easy-open design allows the antenna to be laid down quickly, and the U-shaped opening with a wingnut-secured retainer bar lets the antenna be locked in place without play once installed. Shakespeare's installation guidance notes that a marine antenna should be mounted as high as feasible and as free as possible from obstructions; the bracket is installed with stainless steel machine screws, washers, lockwashers, and nuts (hardware sold separately) through 1\/4 inch mounting holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the box is the bracket itself along with the 1 inch and 1-1\/8 inch reducing inserts needed to fit smaller-diameter antennas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e
