GME ABL013 White Single Swivel Rectangular Marine Antenna Base with Fast-Fit FME A white single swivel rectangular marine antenna base from GME, the ABL013 features fast-fit FME quick-release whip connectors, 5 metres of white low-loss coaxial cable, and a ground-independent design suited to fibreglass, aluminium, and other non-metallic vessel structures, with the option to be configured as a double swivel arrangement. Product overview The GME ABL013 is a single swivel rectangular marine antenna base sharing the same ground-independent design, fast-fit FME connector system, quick-release whip technology, colour-coded inserts, and splash-proof cap as the ABL012B, but in white with a single swivel mount rather than a double swivel. The rectangular base can be assembled in either a single or double swivel configuration, giving it additional mounting flexibility beyond a fixed single-swivel design. Two ABL013 units combined can form a double swivel arrangement. Confirm the specific configuration method before purchase. GME's integrated PL259 connection system is retained: the 5m white low-loss coaxial cable connects permanently to the base, while the antenna whip connects and disconnects via the FME connector in seconds without tools. A splash-proof cap protects the FME connector when the whip is removed. The ABL013 suits the full GME AW36xx series antenna whip range across VHF marine, 27MHz CB, AIS, and AM/FM applications. Features and benefits Single swivel design, configurable to double: The rectangular base can be assembled in single or double swivel configuration, providing flexibility for challenging mounting situations without requiring a separate double swivel unit. White finish with 5m white coaxial cable: Suited to white-hulled and white-superstructure vessels where a matching antenna installation is preferred. Ground-independent design: Does not rely on a conductive hull, making the ABL013 suited to fibreglass, aluminium, and GRP vessels. Fast-fit FME connectors - no soldering required: The whip installs and removes without tools or soldering, with the coaxial cable remaining permanently connected at the base. Splash-proof cap included: Protects the base FME connector from water, salt spray, and debris entry when the whip is removed. Colour-coded inserts: Colour tagging simplifies identification of correct whip and base pairings across multiple antenna installations. Suits all AW36xx series whips: Compatible with the full range of GME AW36xx series antenna whips. VHF, 27MHz, AIS, and AM/FM compatible: A multipurpose base suited to a range of marine communication and broadcast antenna types.

Frequently asked questions What is the difference between a single swivel and double swivel base?A single swivel base has one pivot point, allowing adjustment in one plane only, typically the horizontal tilt of the base.

The ABL013's rectangular design allows it to be assembled into a double swivel configuration when combined. Can the ABL013 be configured as a double swivel?Yes.
