Shakespeare 4187 HD — Stainless Steel Ratchet Antenna Mount
The Shakespeare 4187 HD is a heavy-duty stainless steel ratchet antenna mount built for permanent deck or side-mount installation. The 4-way ratchet mechanism with locking handle lets you fold the antenna down quickly for low-clearance situations — bridges, boathouses, and trailer transport — then lock it back upright with a firm click. The HD (heavy duty) version is specifically engineered to handle the larger diameter shafts of Shakespeare’s Galaxy series antennas without flex or play.
Key Features
- 316 stainless steel construction — corrosion-resistant for saltwater environments
- 4-way ratchet design with locking handle — fold down and lock upright in seconds
- Deck or side-mount compatible — versatile installation options
- Standard 1"-14 thread fits most Shakespeare VHF antennas
- 9/32" cable feed hole through the base for a clean, hidden cable run
- HD version — reinforced to accommodate Galaxy series large-diameter antennas
Parts Desk Insights
Best use case: The 4187 HD is the right mount when you’re running a larger or heavier antenna — particularly the Shakespeare Galaxy series — and need a ratchet that won’t flex or loosen over time. It’s ideal for powerboats and sportfishers where the antenna needs to fold for trailer clearance or bridge passage regularly. The ratchet lock is noticeably more positive than standard mounts, which matters on a working boat. Pairs directly with the Shakespeare Galaxy 5309R VHF Antenna and the Galaxy 5018 15’ 2-Piece Antenna. If you’re buying the Phase III 6018-R, note that it already includes a ratchet mount in the package.
