Yes, it will work with this booster. The recommendation is to mount the antennas below the vhf antenna, not at the same height. On a sailboat the antennas would be mounted on the spreaders with the vhf antenna at the top of the mast. Thanks.

Thank you, your response regarding antenna placement is helpful. My question is about where the hub unit of the 4GXtreme is to be mounted in relation to the Cortex hub (M1), or if it matters.

I have not had both mounted on a boat so I don't know. I know that it can effect electronic compasses for autopilot/gps so I would not mount it permanently until you test it with all the systems.
