Radio help please

Looking for some help guys
I have an existing 27mhz, and a am fm radio in my boat.
I currently have 2 aerials.
I want to change the 27 for a vhf.
I was told all I would need is a spliiter and use the same aerial as the amfm radio.
Is this correct?
Because the splitter doesnt seem right when installed, as the aerial fixes to the second part of the splitter, not the main part (if that makes sense?).
Do I need a new dedicated aerial?

VHF
The Vhf radio will need its own aerial, it cannot be used with the 27meg one

Aerial
If you have a dedicated aerial for the am/fm radio you couldn't use that to transmit with the VHF. In reverse it works where you can split the VHF aerial to recieve am/fm. If you have a GME base you can just get the correct aerial and swap it over.
