3M length of 22mm copper pipe?
That is what we use. Hole (with bung) in front cabin roof overhang and 2 x
22mm pipe clips below. Pipe put through hole, then levered onto clips. End
of tube has had profile altered to square, which is just the right size for
our small Yargi. Co-ax goes down inside of pipe and plugs into socket under
cabin roof overhang. Direction of aerial can be altered from under cratch
cover. In plumbing emergencies, you also have a handy spare piece of
pipe!.....about all we can say ours is on board for, seeing as TV has not
ventured on boat for years.
