Marine VHF Antenna Mounts, Ratchet Mount, 316 Stainless Steel Adjustable Base Mount for Boat (Clamp-on Antenna)

This VHF Marine antenna mount was perfect replacement fro my old plastic rail mount antenna bracket. It seems well made and holds onto my 1997 Four Winns Sundowner bow rail perfectly. My 8 ft Shakespeare VHF antenna screwed smoothly on the mount and the Quick release arm for the Ratchet mount makes it easy to trailer the boat with no worries of hitting tree limbs or other low hanging objects. The stainless finish looks like it belongs on my boats bow rail. quality product at a reasonable price.

Used this on my RV for my cell phone signal booster. When I pull into a campground that has lousy cell coverage, I use this to raise my signal booster antenna 8ft above my motor home to help me get better cell coverage. Then when I leave the campground I flip the handle and lower the antenna so that I can trace again. This mount made of stainless steel and seems very sturdy. I used it on my ladder in the back of my motor home.

On the Amazon webpage, the male screw thread to which the Antenna mounts is labeled as being a 1” with 12 threads per inch NPT pipe: which is a non-standard 1” NPT PVC pipe fitting.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082HV7KYW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1In reality, it is a standard ¾” x 14 threads per inch NPT pipe male fittingI assume that this would also be true for Zomchain ratcheting roof antenna mount:https://www.amazon.com/ZOMCHAIN-Ratchet-Antenna-Stainless-Adjustable/dp/B085TBPSZK/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=ZOMCHAIN+ratchet&qid=1615999151&sr=8-1This is important, as I bought it to mount a cell phone booster antenna to the rail of my RV ladderThe cell phone booster market is 1,000’s of times larger than the marine market; there are more than 9M RV’s registered in the USATruckers and RVers mount cell phone boosters (such as WeBoost) to improve connectivity in areas with weak cell tower signals. The Booster Antennas are frequently attached to a piece of ¾” or 1” ID PVC pipe (2’ to 5’ long) to add height. We drop the antennas when traveling, to avoid overhead obstructions (lamps, tree limbs, bridges, signs etc., but raise them when parked, to improve connectivity. This is easily accomplished with a ratcheting mount; just as with marine use.To use your mounts, a proper PVC Schedule 40 pipe fitting adapter needs to be purchased: a ¾” Female to either a ¾” or 1” PVC pipe connector.

Solid, easy to install and good looking !

I was impressed by the quality of this antenna mount. I would recommend a little blue lock tight on the mounting screws. My mount loosened up due to the vibrations of travel and the motor.

Wish it came with a nut.

Arrived earlier than anticipated. Easy to install.

Very sturdy !!! Needed this to raise and lower my Weboost antenna ! Must buy if you have anything you need to lower and raise.

Fit, finish, construction is great!
