Shakespeare 4190 Stainless Steel Ratchet Rail Mount Antenna Mount, Fits 7/8 and 1 Inch Rails
The Shakespeare 4190 Stainless Steel Rail Mount is a ratchet-action antenna mount built for boaters who need a fast, secure way to install and lay down a VHF or AM/FM antenna on a boat's rail. The ratchet mechanism allows quick, easy installation and a fast release design for laydown when passing under bridges or docking in low-clearance areas. It mounts directly onto 7/8 inch and 1 inch vertical or horizontal rails, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of boat rail configurations.
A 9/32 inch hole is built into the mount for cable feed-through, letting the antenna coax pass cleanly through the mount body rather than running externally. The mount accommodates antennas up to 8 feet in length and terminates in a standard 1 inch-14 male thread, the common mounting thread used by most marine antennas. Constructed from stainless steel, the Shakespeare 4190 is built for heavy-duty, long-term use in the marine environment.
