Does anyone know of a commercial 2 meter antenna made for boats? Fresh
water exclusively, but this would be mounted on a T-top of a center
console which is towed, so it would have to be able to be tilted down
just like the VHF marine antenna. Thanks.

Morad Electronics in Seattle, Washington makes the 156HD Marine Antenna
that is used on better than 90% of the High Seas Fishing Fleet that
fish the North Pacific and Bering Sea. (Deadliest Catch vessels)

Morad also makes a Ham version of the SAME antenna, called the 146HD.

All the Morad Antennas were designed by the legendary Marine
Communications Engineer Eddie Zanbergen (RIP)

I am not affiliated with Morad Electronics, but have installed and
used their products for the last 35 years. There isn't a more
rugged and weather survivable Marine Antenna than those in the
Morad Product line.
