Attwood PowerBase Antenna - White Powered Fold-Down Antenna Base for Marine VHF Antennas

PowerBase Antenna - White Powered Fold-Down Antenna Base

The intelligent, automated folding Antenna base. PowerBase easily stows and deploys lights and antennas with the push of a button.

PowerBase is the only intelligent light/antenna with object detection technology:

• SafeGuard Breakaway: In the event of an impact, the powerbase will safely return to a stowed position preventing potential damage to the fiberglass top
• SmartDeploy Backdrive: In the event of a blocked deployment, PowerBase senses an obstruction and reverses the light/antenna back to its starting position

PowerBase is designed for worry-free installation and operation from the assembly line to the marina:

• Standardized mounting patterns allow for upgradeability
• Intuitive control without switch limitations

PowerBase is compatible/built with the leading industry equipment:
