I installed a t-top on my 1800. It had a 3' stainless whip on a nylon ratchet mount on the side of the console. I'm looking to put a new antenna on the t-top. I searched this site for discussions about antennas and read the recommendations. I have no experience other than the radio that is in this boat.
Questions: I am sometimes offshore, only in good weather, have been 20 miles or so. Should I be looking for an 8' antenna and mounting that atop the t-top? I have a nylon ratchet mount, but the 8' antenna recommendations are for the stainless steel ratchet mounts, will the nylon mount I have stand up?
Thanks,
Ron
