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. How much clearance is there? Enough to let you install/remove the canvas without the radome interfering? The mounts generally let you get two things: clearance and down tilt. Speak with your boat maker about how much tilt is common on your model vessel. You don't want to have the radome's plane of coverage being so low as to not clear the bow (not very likely but something to consider). Also check what the total height would end up being. No sense making the radome higher if it ends up being too low to clear bridges. Again, not terribly likely but something to consider. The seaview mounts also have options on mounting the light behind/above the radome. A nice way to keep the arch from getting overly crowded while keeping that nav light visible. |
