September 2012 in Northeast General Fishing & The Outdoors #1

Planning on going offshore on Sunday with the hubby and would love to have this installed before we go (been sitting in the garage since August- new in box). How difficult is it? This is what we have:
STANDARD HORIZON
GX1150 Eclipse DSC+ Fixed-Mount VHF Radio, White
Naturally I'd need to install the antenna too.

Id like to surprise him sonje doesn't have to worry about installing it Saturday night. Is it that difficult?

Yes, as a matter of fact I DO fish... like a girl. [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

The radio is the easiest, the antenna can be the trickiest. It might be too late to call a pro. Be resourcefull, call until you find a yes.
