SSB HF Antenna

Can someone kindly tell me the length or description or part number of the SSB HF radio anr=tenna which is normally on the rear starboard deck of the Amel yachts?

Peter,
I found this some time ago. I think it is the source used on Super Maramus...not 100% sure. https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/amelyachtowners/photos/albums/1826325527/lightbox/7915044?orderBy=ordinal&sortOrder=asc&photoFilter=ALL#zax/7915044 Bill BeBe 387 |

Hi Peter:
I just saw your post on the SSB whip antenna. The plastic mounting ball at the base of my original Amel fitted SSB antenna failed and was un-repairable. I was in St. Thomas, USVI at the time and ordered a replacement Shakespeare 23 ft, Series 390, SSB antenna through Island Marine Outfitters, http://shakespeare-marine.com/390 The antenna comes with a 1 inch threaded base that screws onto this base fitting http://shakespeare-marine.com/410-r-swivel-mount . So as not to have to drill new holes in the deck, I used the existing aluminum 4 screw base mount and with an appropriate sized washer and nut, the 1 inch threaded antenna swivel base mount attached to the existing Amel deck fitting. Everything else remained the same and the reception/transmission, if anything is improved. I remove the antenna and stow it belowdecks during hurricane season and the threaded base makes this a very quick and easy task compared to the fiddly pin mount of the original antenna. All the best, Gary Silver s/v Liahona Amel SM #335
