I have five on my 26 foot sail boat. Marine VHF on the stern, Amateur
on
the port spreader, TV on the starboard spreader, A scanner and a GPS on
the
mast head.

Why would one mount a gps antenna on the masthead? Wouldn't the normal
roll
of the boat cause that antenna to travel several feet and cause the
position to
change
on each cycle? I would think rail or arch mounted would be more stable.
Ours is
mounted
in the overhead of the pilot house in the opening for the sliding hatch,
which
is lexan.
