![]() Gilles I saw a ketch in Port Vila which had the AirMarine ontop the Mizzen. I (and two copied me) chose to mount mine roughly half way up the mizzen because of cable length/losses on a bracket I designed. It looks a bit like the left hand side of the capital H with the right hand vertical the mizzen and the left leg bent towards the mizzen. The mountings are shaped to the profile of the mizzen. In this position it works very well, cable losses are at a minimum and more important there is no vibration transmitted down the mizzen into the aft cabin. My iAir is probably 5/6 years old (the version which gives a thump when changing speed). Even the thump is barely noticable. The proof in the pudding as they used to say is that others have copied it with similar reactions. I placed pieces of tractor tube between the two mounts to give added anti vibration effect but as the mounts themselves are pop-rivetted to the mizzen, I wonder if this works. lozza |
