Antenna stuff
The first owner of our boat had tucked an automotive-style antenna up under the headliner under the side deck.
Since the little am-fm stereo cassette player was corroded and dead, I threw away the whole mess. I hear from other boaters that this is a common way to place the antenna, though.
On our prior boat I put the vhf antenna on the stern rail using a shorty antenna with base loading coil. Worked great. Only limitation was in how far we could transmit... less distance to the "radio horizon".
