When it comes to offshore communication and safety, the quality of your equipment and the precision of your install make all the difference.
In this video, Derek Whisenhunt from ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐น๐บ๐ฒ๐๐๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ takes us through the step-by-step installation and power testing of the ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ฆ-๐ฐ๐ฏ 8ft offshore antenna, beautifully paired with a Garmin 215 AIS VHF radio.
Key Highlights from the Build:
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป: To ensure a flawless, seamless fit for the Garmin unit, the mounting panel was custom-cut using a CNC machine for maximum accuracy.

Kudos to Palmetto Coastal Services for showcasing what top-tier marine electronics integration looks like!
