Outnumbered

I am putting a VHF in the Ultra for the big lakes Powell and Mead. Anyone ever heard of the computers on the new motors (ie 496) being affected by having the antenna too close to the computer?
I was going to put a fold-down antenna mount under the engine cover somewhere to keep it hidden and out of the way. Probably on the "firewall". If we had a problem all we would have to do is open the cover and raise the antenna. It would probably even work short range in the folded position with the cover closed. I couldn't think of a better way to do it and keep it out of sight.
Any ideas for a better mount or any comments on the computer being affected?
Thanks
