Be aware of the vessel’s bridge clearance specifi cations to
avoid equipment/vessel damage due to impacting a bridge
structure since a great portion of the antenna/receiving
equipment is mounted on the hard top. Remember that the
masthead light on the hardtop can be lowered if needed.
The VHF radio uses a whip style fi berglass antenna which
is “trimmed” to provide the best output and reception.
The TV antenna mounted on the hard top is shaped liked
a saucer.
For further information on antennas refer to each vendor’s
owners manual.
