Marine Antenna Mounts
There is a selection of hardware available for mounting marine antennas to the deck, to a mast or to the side of a vessel's wheel house or other vertical structure.
Folding Deck Mount Antenna Bases
|
MM1 |
The MM1 base supplied as standard with all our marine deck mount antennas is constructed from toughened plastic. |
This base folds down in two directions and also swivels in the opposite plane by loosening the stainless steel pivot bolt. This versatility allows an antenna to be mounted in a variety of positions on any flat surface and at any angle desired using four screws or bolts. |
The thread at the top of the base is 1"–14 UNS male to match the female thread in the ferrule of our deck mount antennas. |
|

|
MM2 |
For those who prefer the ultimate in quality, durability and strength, the MM2 folding deck mount is constructed entirely from stainless steel. |
To order any of our marine deck mount antennas with the stainless steel MM2 base in place of the MM1, simply add the letters ‘SS’ to the antenna Order Code. |
|
|
These folding bases are also most useful for mounting an antenna to any flat surface whatsoever; not just on a marine vessel. Typical examples include mounting an antenna to a caravan or trailer, on a roof or vertically to the facia board of a building.
Any or our ZCG Scalar Marine Deck Mount Antennas fitted with the MM1 or MM2 folding base can be very easily converted to a mast mount antenna in 3 simple steps.

Nylon Side Mounts
|
Constructed from nylon with stainless steel bolts and washers, Nylon Side Mounts are specifically designed to mount a marine antenna to the side of a vessel’s wheelhouse or any other flat vertical structure. |
Drill a 12.7 mm (½") diameter hole through the vertical surface for the stainless steel bolt. Then tighten the bolt to firmly secure the side mount in position. |
Using two (2) of these nylon side mounts, the antenna mount tube is held tightly by the 8 mm stainless steel clamp bolt. |
The radiating section of the antenna must to be elevated well clear of the mount structure, other antennas and all metallic objects to avoid interference and distortion of the 360 degree omnidirectional radiation pattern. |
