Is it possible to unscrew the mast from the mounting base?...I'd need to remove the mast in order to put the cover on my boat when being stored.

I would have to look at mine.. but I dont even have mine mounted.. I have it under my console and get good reception that way.

Yes, mine is unscrewed and stored for the winter while my boat cover is on as well

Yes it is. All you do is loosen the screw and the antenna folds down and lays flat. The screw can also be taken out completely if need be and antenna mast removed.

Yes, on the unit I worked on all that was needed was to remove one screw, unplug the motor and the mounting plate could then be lowered out of the unit . Once the mounting plate is out just remove two nuts securing the motor and wheel, replace with the new motor and wheel, position the mounting plate back into the unit and secure it in place with the one screw you took out previously and you're done. Very easy.

No mast comes with this mounting kit, if that's what you are asking. It is simply a gable end mounting apparatus, for you to mount your own mast to. If you are asking what diameter of mast it is designed for, it's snowing right now, so I really don't want to go up on the roof. But I seem to recall that this product is a universal-type fit, for use with a range of standard mast diameters. My mast is from Radio Shack, so it's probably inch and a half.

They are not permanently mounted. The boat I have (Ranger Reata) has a little metal tab that sits on the motor mount that this hooks into (kind of like a keyhole). So, you can take it off when you don't have the cover on.

I take mine off every time I put the boat up. Yes, they're easy to install and take off. Just use an allen wrench to make sure they're tight, so they don't move around when boating or trailering. Just loosen and unplug. I store them in the original box.

Yes. I've never done it, but if you unscrew the top it should removable from the bottom.

i put mine on a 36 foot sail boat mast. It was mounted off center with hardware from ACE. they may have the answer for you. IT is just a GREAT light...

It is difficult to unscrew it but keep trying. I actually had to take a plyers and gently hold on to the post and hold onto the base with a towel so it doesn't slip and then turn it. I found that after I got it unscrewed the first time it seems to come apart much easier now. Good luck.

Yes. We did the same thing. You can easily remove and replace it while fully assembled.

I love the mount and it can be very secure. You may have to press down hard on the turned down end of the rail to disengage the rail, and then pull the unit away along the rail.Cheers, Tom

The mast is made of two posts--an inner and an outer. The outer tube has a couple holes and the inner has a couple corresponding threaded holes. This allows you to turn the umbrella. Detaching the two on a regular basis isn't wise because of the awkward weight at the top (umbrella and cantilever).

I believe you could remove it. Although I have no experience. I've only installed mine but could probably remove it if it became necessary.

Unscrew it. Grab Base with Left Hand and the Top with your right hand, then twist your Right hand Counter-Clockwise. It seals pretty tightly so it might be difficult, but it will come loose.

open the round cap on the bottom....it's hard so use a screw driver or something else.....fill with water or sand (i used water,cheaper and equally efffective)...put cap back on.....also its heavy so have the base close to wherever it's going to be...good luck

You should just be able to unscrew the antenna (mast) and put a new one on.

No, no mounting base, but it has holes keyhole slots on the bottom that you could remove it from where you mounted it and take it. Wouldn't be hard at all.

Yes, the mounting bracket is included. It is quick release, so you mount half of the bracket to the boat and the other half to the motor. This allows you to remove it for storage in a couple of minutes. Works very well
