If it works and the connections are sealed, I think the risk of it failing unexpectedly are pretty low. How much vibration do you really think the repair is exposed to?

Radars poop all the time. It's a nav aid, rarely is it vital.
Thank you...very good point.

Plus from my experience...most small boat radars really aren't all that useful when you REALLY need them...like picking out the buoys in a foggy, breaking inlet at night....I just pray the chatplotter is 100%. Even if the radar works OK, the skipper is just barely up to it....maybe....
