Looking for suggestions for where to mount this antenna. Would like to keep it on the starboard side since that is where the panel is mounted inside the cabin. But above it is already pretty congested. Ideas?

How about in the little bubby on the coaming.

Alternatively the horizontal part of the station up forward where the mast raising wires go.

Don't limit yourself to just out in the weather, I have one mounted below deck and it work just as good as the one on the stern rail.

Whoa, I had no idea! So it will work just as well inside the cabin?

Plug it in and test it in various locations. There should be a page that shows # of satalites and signal strength.

Yes, the signals will pass easily through fiberglass, just watch out for any metals that may be above the antenna location.
