I've had a Quest on a split backstay for 7 or 8 years. No problems. It's
carrying a 2Kw unit.

I just wish it was about 2' feet higher. But there are pros and cons on
that.
Pro: Sometimes it picks up the boom on the shorter ranges depending on the
position of the boom. Higher would eliminate that. It would also get it
above you when working on the deck. I know 'they' say it won't hurt you as
long as you are 10' or more away, but it still bugs me that I'm being slow
cooked when it's on and I'm on deck. I try to go to standby at those times.

Con:
Harder to install and clean the dome. Right now I can install/remove and
clean it by standing on the coaming and back rails.

Just some thoughts.

I am upgrading my radar system to a RayMarine C-80 with a 4 KW radome. I
would like to gimbal it and am looking for feedback on good/bad mounts. I
will be attaching it to a pole on the stern of the boat.
