GS-800 Professional Endorsement

When it comes to your boat’s antenna, installing the Grand Slam 800 VHF Antenna Mount is a no brainer! This mount enables boaters to adjust their top-mounted VHF Antenna safely and easily from the deck. But don’t take our word for it. Read what Captain George Gozdz from TV’s Unfathomed thinks about the GS-800.

“I’m the host of the fishing show Unfathomed and a full-time fishing guide,” said Gozdz, who is based out of Jensen Beach, Florida. “I rely on my Caymas 28HB and the equipment I rig it with to perform flawlessly day in and day out. I use the TACO GS-800 Antenna Mount because of its ease of use and safety. The days of climbing up on the gunnels fighting cumbersome outdated mounts are gone. They provide me with the ability to raise and lower my antenna right from the cockpit with the simple crank of a handle. This is just one of the many great products TACO offers.”
