Whenever I tried to anchor my antenna to the aluminum deck plate, my antenna heated up, so what I did was buy a #4 plastic screw (although I have a different antenna; you'd want to buy a #2 one), threaded it up, put a #2 nut over it, and then put a rubber spacer over *that* to ensure that the only metal is the antenna and the wire. No otherpart of the assembly should touch the aluminum (although probing the plate didn't show current travelling through it, so I'm not entirely sure why the antenna is shorting otherwise)
