If you really want to avoid drilling a larger hole to accept a premade
connector, snake it around the bottom of the console using zip ties to
secure it to the deck in the corners. Your going to have to do it at
some point anyway, why not keep it out of the way, made it tidy and
neat and you will never know the difference.

Out of curiosity, what kind of antenna and mount is it?

Thanks for all the good advice. The antenna is a used Comrod AV-51.
I don't have the mount yet. Going shopping tomorrow. I will probably
get a nylon mount with a lever that I can attach to the railing. I
need something that I can fold down so that the boat fits in the
garage.

Also a question on your E-TEC. Is that oil leaking out of the air
breather at the top of the cowling? That's unusual.

I don't know what that was. If it was 2 stroke oil, it may have been
some spilled by the riggers??? There is no leakage anywhere under the
cowling. I thought maybe it was some kind of oil from when it was
shipped. Been running her just about every weekend since late March.
Good motor.
