Tom, I would say that you ought to know. Thanks! Now knowing that
info, what I would do is send the antenne back get whats left of your
refund, and call it a wash and chalk up to experience. either that or
keep it, make you're own mount and be hacked off.

Metz Manta Marine VHF Antenna w/optional Bow Rail Mount

Seller did not ship with the bow rail mount and is now disputing his
auction. He states the mount is optional even though this is the wording
on his auction. He is willing to refund amount of antenna but not
shipping and I have to pay for shipping back to him.

Metz Manta-6 Marine Antenna with optional Bow Rail Mount

Key Features
Stainless Steel 17-7ph Whip
Stainless Steel Housing
Nickel plated support

So is the antenne. it must be "optional" even though it's in the
wording.

You should be entitled to the mount, or the full refund, I saw you
gave him the neg.

Actually, buying the Metz antenna is his first mistake.

I've went through two of them before I decided that purchasing a
Shakespeare was more cost effective than replacing Metz antennas every
three months. And, as it happens, I haven't replaced the Shakespeare
in the three years it's been on the boat.

Metz are crap antennas - always have been always will be. Their
attraction is that they are cheap and indeed, they are cheap.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. :)
