Shakespeare 5241-R Stainless Steel 36" HD Low-Profile VHF Antenna
The Shakespeare 5241-R is a heavy-duty, low-profile VHF marine antenna built from stainless steel for exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. At 36 inches, it strikes the ideal balance between gain performance and a compact footprint — making it well-suited to vessels where a full-length antenna would be impractical, while still delivering reliable VHF communication range for coastal and offshore use.
Key Features
- 36-inch low-profile design — compact footprint without sacrificing VHF performance
- Heavy-duty (HD) stainless steel construction for superior strength and corrosion resistance
- Built to withstand continuous UV, salt spray, and offshore exposure
- Compatible with standard VHF marine radios and SO-239/PL-259 coax connections
- Low-profile form factor reduces windage and suits air-draft-sensitive installations
- Part No. 5241-R
Parts Desk Insights
Best Use Case: Best suited for sailboats, powerboats with low superstructures, and vessels operating in areas with bridge or air draft restrictions where a standard full-length VHF antenna would be too tall. The stainless steel construction makes it a strong choice for vessels in high-corrosion environments — including offshore, tropical, and high-latitude cruising. Also a practical choice for a secondary or backup antenna installation. Confirm mounting thread size and coax connector compatibility before ordering.
