{"product_id":"shakespeare-4186-u-nylon-four-way-ratchet-antenna-mount","title":"Shakespeare 4186-U Nylon Four-Way Ratchet Antenna Mount","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Shakespeare 4186-U is a nylon ratchet-style antenna mount built for boaters who need a simple, adaptable way to install a VHF or AM\/FM antenna. Its four-way ratchet design lets the mount adapt easily to vertical or horizontal surfaces, whether the mounting face is slanted or straight, giving installers flexibility on boats with limited or angled deck and console space. The nylon construction keeps the mount lightweight and resistant to corrosion in the marine environment, an important consideration for hardware that stays exposed to saltwater spray and sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward thanks to the mount's simple design, making it a practical choice for a DIY antenna install or replacement. One important limit to note: the 4186-U should not be used with antennas longer than eight feet, and doing so voids all warranties, so it is best suited to standard-length VHF whip and AM\/FM antennas rather than tall extended masts. The ratchet action allows the antenna to be adjusted or laid down as needed once mounted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shakespeare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4186-U\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAntenna Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mounts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMount Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four-Way Ratchet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vertical or horizontal, slanted or straight surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Antenna Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 719441110215\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the maximum antenna length for the Shakespeare 4186-U mount?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 4186-U should not be used with antennas longer than eight feet; using a longer antenna on this mount voids all warranties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the 4186-U be mounted on a horizontal surface?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the four-way ratchet design of the Shakespeare 4186-U adapts easily to vertical or horizontal surfaces, including slanted or straight mounting faces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Shakespeare 4186-U made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from nylon, which keeps the 4186-U ratchet mount lightweight and suited to the marine environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Shakespeare 4186-U antenna mount weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 4186-U weighs 0.6 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Shakespeare 4186-U easy to install?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 4186-U has a simple design intended to make installation straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Shakespeare 4186-U?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for the Shakespeare 4186-U nylon ratchet mount is 719441110215.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 4186-U ratchet mount allow the antenna to be laid down?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the four-way ratchet design of the 4186-U allows the antenna to be adjusted and returned to position as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Shakespeare 4186-U mount suitable for slanted mounting surfaces?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 4186-U's four-way ratchet design adapts to slanted surfaces as well as straight vertical or horizontal ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of product is the Shakespeare 4186-U?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 4186-U is a nylon four-way ratchet antenna mount used to secure a boat's VHF or AM\/FM antenna to a bulkhead, console, or deck surface.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shakespeare Antennas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49028255908059,"sku":"SHA-4186-U","price":15.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SHA-4186-U_lg__91555.1558119847.500.750.jpg?v=1785165549","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/shakespeare-4186-u-nylon-four-way-ratchet-antenna-mount","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
