This antenna’s "Quick-Fit" design offers several advantages:

It allows for quick replacement or removal of the antenna’s radiating element. No need to cut or handle the cable during these operations.The cable is directly connected to the antenna’s mounting base, simplifying maintenance.

The weight of the Navico 2.5 m (8-ft) VHF antenna is 0.385 kilograms.

Yes, this antenna is classified in the VHF/AIS/Safety category, which means it is suitable for VHF communication and AIS signal reception.

The antenna is the radiating element that connects to a mounting base via the Quick-Fit system. The main coaxial cable connects to this base via a Fast-Fit connector. The antenna itself (reference AA000355) does not include the long coaxial cable for connection to the radio, but the connection base is designed to accommodate it.

Ultraglass is a Navico-specific designation for the high-performance fiberglass type used in the construction of this antenna. It ensures high resistance to weathering and increased durability in a marine environment.

Yes, the Fast-Fit cable connector is a feature of the Quick-Fit design. It is specifically designed to reduce the size of the hole required in bulkheads, making cable routing and installation much easier.

This antenna is compatible with a variety of mounting systems. It can be used with stainless steel or nylon mounts, providing flexibility for different installation configurations on your boat.

Yes, thanks to its two-part "Quick-Fit" modular design, the antenna can be quickly and easily removed from its mounting base. This operation does not require complex cable disconnection, which is convenient for wintering, transport, or maintenance.

No, one of the key advantages of the "Quick-Fit" design is that it allows the replacement or removal of the antenna’s radiating element without having to cut or manipulate the coaxial cable. The cable remains connected to the mounting base.

The system uses a Fast-Fit cable connector designed to minimize the hole diameter required in bulkheads. This simplifies installation by reducing the size of the required openings.

This antenna is designed to integrate seamlessly with marine systems from B&G, Lowrance, and Simrad, ensuring optimal compatibility with these units.

Although VHF frequencies are standardized, this antenna is specifically designed for the Navico Quick-Fit mounting and connection system. To use it with a transceiver from another brand, it is essential to ensure compatibility of the mounting base and connector type with your existing equipment.

Yes, this antenna is compatible with nylon-made antenna mounts. Its design allows for secure attachment to this type of material.

Yes, this antenna is compatible with stainless steel mounting brackets. It is designed to be installed on various types of robust marine mounts.

The AA000355 model is the Quick-Fit white 2.5 m VHF antenna. However, Navico does indeed offer a similar 2.5 m Quick-Fit fiberglass antenna in black, under part number 000-14968-001, in its product range.

Yes, this fixed VHF antenna is versatile and suitable for use on both types of vessels, whether sailboats or powerboats. The choice of mounting bracket will depend on the location and type of vessel.
