Use a mini or standard ball mount.  RS or a local CB or ham radio shop will
have one.  You may have to enlarge the existing hole and also drill 3 in a
pattern just around it, but you will be able to seal it up well enough to
totally eliminate corrosion.

You then have a standard 3/8 inch mount point that you can screw any standard
whip or loaded antenna into.  And it's rugged as hell.
