Default AIS Transponder Antenna Placement

I will be pulling my mast and am planning on adding a second VHF antenna

I'll end up with both of my VHF antennas next to one another. I suspect
that this isn't a good idea. Any suggestions as to how to handle this?

Mount them vertically, e.g. collinear. Perhaps one on the spreader.
