Satellite radio in the boat
 
I have the Sirius JVC unit in my truck. I thought I would just need a different docking station for the boat. I didn't realise my antenna is magnetic. How have others mounted there satellite antennas?

I little bit of 3M 4200 works great. Or you can take a stong magnet of the opposite pole and put it inside the boat on the opposite side of the magnet if you have access.

I bought a spare antenna for $10 on ebay and used some 4200 to hold it down.

That's where my antenna is.......

Held down with silicone. I need to paint it white though to blend better.

Stop the antenna madness :rolleyes:

Please just mount it under the dash and enjoy not looking at it or trying to figure out how to paint it! I promise you it will work just fine :cool:

Make sure it is sitting upright on something and is not directly under a piece of lead :D

Did you use the little car antenna under the dash or did you use the big dill doe looking one? Went though dash Fiberglass OK?
