The ratchet action gives a quick, fast-release motion so the antenna can be dropped for low bridges, storage, or transport, then returned to its correct upright position without fuss. Heavy-duty construction throughout means the mount stands up to the vibration, spray, and repeated handling that come with regular boating use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mount attaches easily to 7\/8 inch and 1 inch vertical or horizontal boat rails, making it a practical choice for boats with standard rail sizes. A 9\/32 inch hole is built in for cable feed-through, so the antenna coax can be routed cleanly through the mount rather than run externally. The mount terminates in a standard 1 inch-14 thread (male) fitting, which accepts antennas designed for that thread standard, and it is rated to handle antennas up to 8 feet in length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstructed of stainless steel for corrosion resistance in a marine environment, the Shakespeare 4188-SL is a durable, low-maintenance way to mount and manage a boat antenna on rail-equipped boats.\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 4188-SL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAntenna Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mounts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ratchet rail mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Rail Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\/8 inch and 1 inch vertical or horizontal rails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Feed-Through Hole:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9\/32 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard 1 inch-14 thread (male)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Antenna Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.25 x 4 x 3.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.9 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat rail sizes does the Shakespeare 4188-SL fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Shakespeare 4188-SL mounts easily on 7\/8 inch and 1 inch vertical or horizontal boat rails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size antenna can this mount hold?\u003c\/strong\u003e This ratchet rail mount handles antennas up to 8 feet in length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat thread does the 4188-SL use to attach an antenna?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a standard 1 inch-14 thread (male) fitting, which is a common thread standard for boat antennas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 4188-SL made of stainless steel?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Shakespeare 4188-SL ratchet rail mount is constructed of stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability in marine conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the ratchet feature work?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 4188-SL uses a ratchet action with a fast-release design, allowing the antenna to be laid down quickly and returned to its upright position just as easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs there a hole for running the antenna cable through the mount?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, a 9\/32 inch hole is built into the mount for cable feed-through, letting the coax run cleanly through the mount body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 4188-SL weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Shakespeare 4188-SL weighs 2.9 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of this mount?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Shakespeare 4188-SL measures 6.25 x 4 x 3.25 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this mount work on horizontal rails as well as vertical rails?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 4188-SL can be mounted on either vertical or horizontal rails measuring 7\/8 inch or 1 inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Shakespeare 4188-SL?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 4188-SL ratchet rail mount is silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this mount with any antenna that has a 1 inch-14 thread?\u003c\/strong\u003e Any antenna with a standard 1 inch-14 male thread and a length up to 8 feet is compatible with the Shakespeare 4188-SL mount.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shakespeare Antennas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49028256071899,"sku":"SHA-4188-SL","price":84.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SHA-4188-SC_lg__59105.1558120004.500.750.jpg?v=1785165548","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/shakespeare-4188-sl-stainless-steel-ratchet-rail-mount-for-7-8-inch-and-1-inch-boat-rails","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
