Radar mast woes continue

Hi All,

As I still contemplate using a vertical pole for the radar or getting a mast built (the estimate was $2500-3000), I'm really leaning towards a Seaview pole. The mount on the deck is for the old mast that was able to be laid down and won't fit the Seaview pole.

Here's the really bad part. The deck where the mount is currently, is above the aft head ceiling... which has no access and is all trimmed in and pretty, i.e. I can't get to the mast mount without opening up the head ceiling!

I do have one more idea and that involves help from the forum. Those of you with masts that can be lowered, the fitting at the bottom of the mast... is it a fitting that slides into the mast? I can get a Seaview 3 or 4" pole, but need to get a fitting for the bottom that will work with the old mast mount on the deck.

Dave
