Fishmaster Universal Mounting Bracket for Boat Antenna and Navigation

In this review the Fishmaster universal mounting bracket is evaluated for small-boat owners who need a tidy, sturdy way to add an antenna, navigation light or LED accessory to a t-top. The bottom line: it is a simple, corrosion-resistant aluminum bracket that creates a 3.5in x 3.5in flat mounting surface and installs without drilling on Fishmaster t-tops, making it ideal for anglers and captains who want a clean installation and multiple mounting options without fabricating parts or cutting tubing.

Key Features

• Large mounting surface: The 3.5in x 3.5in flat pad gives room to mount an antenna and a small navigation or LED light together without overcrowding the hardware.
• Universal fit: Designed to clamp over 1.9in OD tubing, the bracket fits common t-top tubing and can be positioned on the top or bottom of the tube for flexible placement.
• Match your t-top: Available in powder-coated black or white and bright-dipped anodized finishes so the bracket can visually integrate with a variety of t-top styles.
• Quality construction: Machined from 6061-T6 marine-grade aluminum and finished for corrosion resistance, it withstands marine conditions better than basic plated steel options.
• Tool-free install on Fishmaster: On Original and Pro Series Fishmaster t-tops installation requires only removing and replacing two aft stainless bolts, avoiding drilling and preserving the tube structure.

Who It's For

This bracket is best for anglers, small-boat owners and DIY installers who use a Fishmaster t-top or have 1.9in OD tubing and want a neat, factory-like mounting point for communications and lighting accessories. It particularly suits those who prefer not to drill into tubing and who value a corrosion-resistant aluminum part.

Those who should look elsewhere are owners of nonstandard tubing diameters or customers who require integrated wiring channels or complex multi-device mounting systems, since the product provides a flat pad for separate accessories rather than an enclosed wiring solution.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid 6061-T6 aluminum construction resists marine corrosion better than lower-grade metals.
• Generous 3.5in x 3.5in pad lets users mount multiple small accessories without interference.
• Quick, no-drill installation on Fishmaster Original and Pro Series t-tops simplifies fitment and keeps factory tubing intact.
• Available finishes allow visual matching to common t-top colors and anodized fittings.

Cons

• Drilling may be required for other brand t-tops, so universal claim requires checking tube geometry first.
• The bracket provides an external mounting pad but does not include built-in wiring or seals for light or antenna cable entry.
