The Grand Slam 860 Electric VHF Antenna and Navigation Light Mount combines enhanced safety, durability, and style. As the successor to the popular GS-850, the Grand Slam 860 boasts a robust stainless-steel body and a stainless-steel Type-316L breakaway pin for exceptional weather resistance. It features a new stainless-steel anti-backlash linear screw drive, ensuring greater durability. The mount’s oblong shape allows for a longer, more powerful motor – delivering superior performance at sea. Boaters can easily adjust their VHF Antenna from the deck with the push of a button, thanks to the auto-rotating stop feature and manual stop option. This fully electric unit includes a hidden base wire for a sleek installation on the hardtop and uses a water-sealed Deutsch connector for wiring. It retains the same hole pattern as the GS-850, facilitating straightforward upgrades, and is compatible with all top thicknesses.
