Default Questus woes

I too have been using my Questus Radar mount, for almost 7 years now,
the last 5 activily cruising. It has been an excellent piece of
equipment. HOWEVER:

1. The original factory-supplied aluminum backstay pole has a major
case of aluminum pox. Annodized aluminum poles do NOT belong on a
boat at sea. Probably why they have a stainless option now...



Depends on the alloy. I used a cheap aluminum radar mast ( the
telescoping one in the Defender catalog) for 11 seasons. The only
reason I replaced it was that the larger radar I changed to was too
heavy and made it seem wobbly. It was still in good condition.
