Description
The BlueBoat Antenna and Accessory Mast boosts BlueBoat communication range by raising the antenna above the surface of the water.
High-frequency radio waves like the Wi-Fi signal used by the BlueBoat rely on clear line of sight to stay strong and stable. When the antenna sits low to the water, waves and surface chop can block or absorb the signal. Reflections off the water surface can also cause interference and reduce performance.
This mast raises the antenna two feet above the BlueBoat deck, improving line of sight for stronger, more stable communication. In our testing, this simple change increased communication range by up to two times on average. It’s compatible with both the standard Wi-Fi antenna and the Cellular Modem Kit antenna.
Mounting the Mast and More
And it’s not just for antennas—you can mount payloads like weather sensors, lights, and more.
The mast is made of anodized aluminum with UV-stabilized polycarbonate brackets and mounts directly to any of the BlueBoat’s frame brackets. You can even install more than one if you have multiple antennas or accessories. It adjusts from 0° to 180° in 22.5° increments and folds flat for transport.
A cable for installing an antenna is included, but you can also run your own cables through the mast for other payloads. All mounting hardware is included, see the installation guide for full details.
