Antenna vs. Bimini?

[gordonhg]

I have a 20 CC with a bimini. I mounted my antena on the starbord rear corner of the boat, about 6" forward of where the transom boxes come accross, about 1 1/2 foot in from of the transon. Mine is mounted on the inside if the hull so I can walk along the gunnle with out stepping on it, it is quite out of the way when it is laying down flat and parallel to the floor. I use a rubber clip at the end and middle to keep in in place. It is mounted on a cam/latching swivel mount, similar to West Marine part #1986868. When I want to put it up, it sticks up from the stern of the boat out of the way of the bimini. Its mounted about 6" down from the top of the gunnel so it is not in the way of the floor or scuppers..

I suppose if you really wanted to you could mount one like that, install an antena switch and mount a small 3ft antena on the console under the bimini.. Then you could use one or the other..

It is 8ft feet or so.
