Mounted on a pole on the radar arch. Seems to have coax cable going to it.

Somebody on another forum suggested an old Iridium antenna. Cable was cut right at the unit so I can't tell what it might have been connected to.

Well , maybe so, can't really tell from the pic....could be anything that needed an antenna really, not enough info.

Was your boat used for fishing previously ?
