Hello everyone,
I picked up a 2014 300 SLX and am getting ready to have her put in the water in the next week or so. Last year, I noticed a few issues with the VHF antenna. The 3' whip appears to have been detached from the cable, and there seems to be a bushing missing form the mount. Here is a pic of the mount where you can see the opening.
When I looked up the mount on Glomex's website, it appears that there is an additional bushing on the antenna cable that is not present on my boat. Here is a link to the mount.

I haven't been able to find anywhere to get that bushing. Does anyone know where to pick one up, or if it can be sealed with something else?
Also, any 300 SLX owners know an easier way to get to the backside of the mount? It's on the starboard side right under where the arch begins. I see there is a vinyl pad on the other side of the arch, but have not attempted to take it off to see if there is an access point. I have the cockpit sink setup with fridge, if that changes anything.
Thanks,
John
