Mary Lou,
I have the Metz antennae which is similar to the Shakespeare model you have. 
I mounted the mounting bracket facing up, with the top near the top of the 
mast. This way, with the antennae base mounted, I use the wind vane which mounts 
directly on the antennae whip. I don't have an anchor light, just use the one 
on the front of the mast.
For the coax, I lined the inside of the mast with foam pipe insulation to 
eliminate any wire slapping. Near the bottom of the mast, I drilled a hole and 
then installed a rubber grommet to protect the coax from chaffing. I also used a 
rubber grommet at the top of the mast where the coax exits to connect to the 
bottom of the antennae. Sorry, I don't have any close-up pictures to show you.

Rummy
