Hi,
Just bought a new boat and want to check a few things.
I am guessing #2 is GPS antennae (looks like chartplotter was removed prior to sale), not sure about #1 (part of TV aerial?) or #3 which I have seen on quite a few boats originating from Finland almost looks like a licence plate holder.
Hope someone can shed some light on this.
Thanks

There is a coax from under #1 hence why i thought something TV related but it doesn't look complete, like something should slot onto the spike.
Thanks for the responses.

Number 1, if it has a coax connection, could be for a satellite phone aerial as this looks similar Iridium Fixed Mast Antenna Antcom with stainless mount bracket S53IR16RR-P-XTB-1 Color: White

#1 is a mount for bird scarer like a daddy long legs.
Thanks for the suggestions/answers folks. Coax didn't connect to it after all.
