Bought this for my pontoon boat and had problems right out of the box. The outside diameter of the centering feature on the bezel was almost 0.0700 inches larger than the inside diameter of the coaxial electrical connector/bracket. Clamp making it impossible to mount to surfaces less than 3/8 inch thick. Undeterred (I hate sitting on lakes in silence) I slipped the problematic piece into a mandrel and machined it to size. Problem #1 solved. Then came problem #2: The plug didn't fit in the back of my radio! The soldering was so sloppy, with so much excess solder on the center pin, I went back to the shop to heat it up and clean it to make it fit! to express how glad I am that I had to pace 6 times for a simple installation of an antenna on a trailered boat.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Minor issues

Won’t hold up in a bass boat, too fragile or sensitive
