Just where is the best location for an 8 ft antenna in a console boat. Seems like they might be a pain just about anywhere??
Appreciate the input..
I've always kept mine forward within reach of me sitting at controls. If you put the ant. in the rear of the boat when your trolling it's always in the way of your rods. MOO

Most manufacturers suggest keeping the VHF antenna 3 feet or more away from the radio so you don't get feed back. Also keep your antenna wires and antenna away from your fishfinder. otherwise you may get interference. Good Luck!
