Antenna Placement FSH Sport?

[Liveto99]

Where are you putting the VHF antenna's? Radio placement also not much room on dash.

Depending on the antenna, you could install it on helm or on the side of the boat.
I did it mine on the side.

As for where to mount the radio, you could do a flush mount or mount on the storage compartment.

Here some pics of my install:

You want the antenna as high as possible for the best range (apparently max height is more important than radio power), you also want it as far away from any GPS antennas as possible as the two can interfere with one another. Here is a good article on the subject:

With a "Sport," on the T-top no doubt is best. Wish I had room for one...a sport that is.

I have my 3 foot stainless mounted in the grab handle hole at the rear of the t-top. Lots of height. My radio is mounted in the lower storage compartment of the console. I'd recommend mounting it higher - hard to hear and see.

I mounted mine here:

VHF is here sound is fine as long as the radio is not at full volume
