Dumb question but without being able to trace out I know someone will know the answer to this. On a factory 2005 Marlin, what is the second antenna originally intended for? Is it just VHF redundancy or is it something with XM?
 
There is really no electronics standardization between similar Grady-White models. Typically Grady does not install the electronics that is typically installed at the dealer prior to sale. A little more detail with regard to the type of antenna, size, etc. might get you a more accurate answer.
 
There is a round disc that is an XM antenna connected to the stereo. There is a FM antenna as well under the cabin headliner.
Any other antennas are for tv, vhf, fm booster etc put in by owners.

Probably a second VHF and/or AIS. How many VHF radios are there? if there is 2 then you have your answer.
 
I added a second VHF with AIS late last year which I connected the antenna previously used on the old VHF. Didn't get around to seeing where second antenna was wired to connect to the old VHF.
