I recently bought a 2500 SCR Maxum 2002 and was trying to figure out a
good way to mount the radar. The boat has a bimi top but I'm unsure
if you could mount the radar in some fashion to the structure used for
the bimi top or if I have to buy a custom radar arch and spend 1500 or
so.

==============================================

If you have a lightweight scanner (less than 15 pounds or so), and a
sturdy bimini frame (well braced stainless steel tubing), you can
probably get something to work. Typically a large aluminum plate is
fabricated which is wide enough to bridge two bimini frame tubes, and
attached with U-bolts. Not as sturdy as an arch obviously but it can
be functional.
