3:1 looks like something in the cable, check make sure the mount is not shorted to ground, make sure your connectors are properly soldered, also make sure the ground for the mount is a good solid ground. If you have too much of it running to close to metal pieces (such as body parts) it can raise your SWR/.

So fair warning I'm not good with electrical. Tested the mount, ground straps and coax. Mount and ground read 66 ohms don't know if that's good or bad. Disconnected coax from radio and tested at 0 ohms. Does that mean the coax is bad? Let me know your thoughts as at this point I have little knowledge of what I'm actually doing lol.

Tuning the nail does nothing, still reads 3 on 1 and 20 and 3 and a quarter on 40. To my untrained eye grounding looks good. Possibly bad coax?
