mover the radar mast up a little

[freddy063]

Last year I added the sea view mast and like it, but I just wanted to raise it up a little. This is what I came up with.







What do you think?

I'd first see how it works.
Some cons to consider:
- Set back further than normal. Hardtop could block some close capability. Need to check.
- Looks ass backwards. Should have the mast further toward the front and the lower items mounted aft.
- Spot light is high profile and likely blocks some field of view.

Some pros:
- GPS and light are up and out of the way.
- Already mounted. I'd assume nobody would go to the expense not to have it working.
- If you move it, you may need to wedge the radar up a bit on the front edge.

I'd check to see how it functions and maybe go for a low profile light. If it works, leave it alone.

I'd look at boats the same size as yours and GWs in particular. If it works, keep it.
