How can you protect isinglass windows from being scratched by antennas and enclosure support poles?

the best way is to not put the isinglass in those spots. even the reflection from the support poles will degrade the plastic. as a stopgap, you might make some covers for those items out of sunbrella or something.
i'm curious to see if there are some other solutions out there.
 
I use Boat Blanket from Sailrite to make covers for the railings. It is cheap and super easy to sew. You cut it to size, it is self hemming so you don’t need to finish the edges. Then sew the hook side of velcro on it. The hooks will stick to the boat blanket so that is all you have to do. A couple of minutes per piece. It provides fairly soft protection for the eisenglass and it also cuts out the glare off the railings. A couple of yards will likely do the whole boat as it comes 6’ wide.
