Rhinofish,

I tested the antennae placement out on the ocean before permanently mounting it on the shelf/lid. It has never lost signal in over 250 hours of use. It even works inside my garage, where the photos were taken. Maybe if you had a boat with lots of other wires and coax above the antennae you would have to be more cautious. In the case of some aluminum framing and canvas, I do not think there is a reasonable/provable issue with mounting where I did.

I will definitely do it again on any new boat with a similar t-top setup.
