No complaints from marina staff - just others agreeing it's a good idea. Actually I was originally screwing the mount, one with a flat base, to the timber rubbing strip on the edge of the dock, but that kept coming out, so I got one which designed to clamp onto the std 1" rail, and with minor mods it mounted onto the midships cleat, which I think you can see in one pic. The plastic whip aerial mounts are very cheap, and car wreckers have aerials for virtually nothing. Just pinch a bungy hook from a tie-down, and fix the aerial into the base and the hook to the top with knead-it (epoxy mastic stick), and Bob's your uncle...
