Houseboating Adventures - Issue 19 - (Page 25) SLEEK RATCHET MOUNTis easy on the eyes While an antenna mount may not be the most elegant item on a modern boat, it certainly doesn't have to be ugly. Determined to changes this stigma, Shakespeare Electronics introduces the stylish, strong and functional, new 5187 Ratchet Mount to spice up any craft. The stunning mount provides a sophisticated appearance that complements any boat. Its simple lines arrive from an innovative nutless, boltless design. Featuring a beautiful mirror-like finish and stainless steel construction, this four-way, free-standing Ratchet Mount employs standard 1"-14 threads. Easy to fit, the versatile and adjustable mount can be installed on vertical, horizontal and slanted surfaces. To ensure the antenna is mounted as vertically as possible, the teeth on Shakespeare's Ratchet Mount allow adjustments of 5°, rather than the standard 10° increments. The antenna cable may be routed through the unique cable slot on the side of the mount for a streamlined look. It also eliminates the need to remove most factoryinstalled connectors. The classy 5187 Ratchet Mount from Shakespeare Electronics has a suggested retail price of $82.95.
