Comments about Mariner 8300 8' VHF Antenna:
Original antenna failed after about 10 years. I was suprised the original Shakespeeare came apart as easily as it did. Cut the coax to suit, installed the RF connector and back in business for hopefully another 10 years.

Comments about Mariner 8300 8' VHF Antenna:
Good quality works fine, just so you know, you do have to connect and solder the connector for the plug to the radio. It's included. Good thing though so you don't have to drill a big hole depending were you mount it.
Pros

Cons
Best Uses
- Rail or tower mount
Comments about Mariner 8300 8' VHF Antenna:
I bought this for the low price, it seems to be a very good antenna, I installed this with my very first marine radio and didn't really know how it worked, once on the river, i called on channel 9 for a radio check and got answers from over 20 miles away, they said I was loud and clear. I now feel safe going off shore with this product being part of my safety equipment.
Pros
- Durable
- Easy To Set Up
- Strong Signal
Cons
- Bulky
Best Uses
- Attic/Roof Mount
