Default Mounting a radome


"bob baldwin" wrote in message
...
Hello all,
I am having a T-Top made for my boat on which I will install a
Raymarine radome. Is there any advantage to mounting it on "power mount"
(Seaview) as opposed to mounting it directly on the top, other than
gaining a few inches in height? The top will be canvas with a mounting
plate installed.

Thanks,

bob baldwin


A few inches in height won't make a world of difference, assuming your bow
doesn't rise too high while underway and hide the view straight ahead. I'm
not familiar with the current RayNav domes, but in the past, some had attach
fasteners (Just for the dome cover, now) which pointed up from under the
lower half of the dome. If that's the case, it is helpful to have enough
clearance to get a screwdriver or wrench under the dome.
