The splice would have to stay up inside the antenna or it could be pulled apart when threaded onto the base. Crappy design - surprised to see that from Furuno. If that's your primary GPS I'd buy a new antenna.

If you look at the photo carefully you can see it was installed improperly. There should have been a small fillet between the threads and the cable. The best products in the world can be defeated by mans stupidity.

Ever think it could have been an accident.:roll:

A better design would eliminate the possibility
