I'm just giving Metz a try having had Glomex and Pacific before. I think a lot has to do with quality of connections and keeping moisture out as it does the aerial itself. My Pacific started losing...

I don't see why a diesel heater in a petrol powered boat is any more a concern than a petrol heater in a petrol powered boat. Either way, as long as it is installed in accordance with the fitting...
