QuickConnect Stainless Steel Ratchet Mount with 20 ft RG-58 Cable

This is a really cool innovation in antenna installation. The QuickConnect Antenna System allows you to remove your VHF antenna for boat storage or security without having to disconnect any wires!
Unlike other antennas, the QuickConnect System is designed with the cable attached to the antenna mount instead of the antenna. With coax connectors built right into the antenna base and antenna mount, you simply screw the antenna onto the mount to make the connection. No wires to cut or solder.

Based on the popularity of the quick connecting feature used on Shakespeare's top-of-the-line Phase III® antennas, this easy and convenient screw-on/screw-off feature is now available for the rest of us in the QuickConnect series of entry-level VHF antennas.

Note — When selecting a QuickConnect antenna, you must pair it with a QuickConnect mount.
The QC antenna will only work with a QC mount.

QuickConnect antennas are ideal for boats in rack storage, or covered moorage with low roofs. They make using a boat cover or shrink-wrapping for winter storage or trailer transport hassle-free. If you leave your boat and want to protect your investment in your antennas, with QuickConnect, you can simply remove the antennas and stow them below deck.

QuickConnect mounts are supplied with a 20 ft factory installed and sealed RG-58 coax cable that has a free end, and also a high quality, gold-plated PL-259-CP-G connector. This allows you to run the cable to the interior of the boat, having only to drill a small 7/32" hole for the plain end of the cable. You can then install the DIY solderless, screw-on connector after the cable has been run to the radio.
