We had trouble getting radio reception with the stock radio/antenna setup in our boat. Got this and plugged it in, which was fairly easy, and it noticeably increased the reception. It's still not perfect, but a good cheap fix.

Was skeptical at first. Followed instructions and hooked up antenna to power source. All I can say is WOW. My marine grade Kenwood stereo wouldn't pick up cr*p before, now it picks up a ton of stations. Like the antenna as well because it's out of the way tucked along the edge of one of the windows on the boat. Worth the small price for the quality of radio sound.

Ship time was speedy. This product did not improve my FM reception. Unless great care was taken to home-run a new 12v power line all the way to the battery I heard a high frequency noise whenever the antenna was energized. Not bad... just no better than the unpowered antenna I already had. It will go back for a refund.

this thing doesn't work on my 86 bayliner but works ok on my brothers so i guess its a hit or miss on this

I installed this antenna on a portable cd player, which admittedly is probably not the intended purpose for this antenna. The directions state that the antenna should be grounded, but because my cd player is portable I was forced to put the grounding wire to the negative post of whatever 12V battery I may be using at the time. Reception is poor, I get few stations and what I do get is a bit scratchy. I believe this antenna may require the use of another antenna (i.e. whatever it is being grounded to) in order to work. It gets 3 stars because it didn't work for my application, which is probably not the intended application.
