    Radar mounting on hardtop pics

    Is a heading sensor needed to run some of the features of the radar? Reading the description on Simrad website, says it needs a heading sensor or GPS for proper orientation to use chart overlay?? I have internal and external GPS, shouldn't it work with my unit? Maybe it was written for older...

    Radar mounting on hardtop pics

    Here's the 6" SS mount from Scanstrut and Battlewagon. No issues with powdercoating down the road. Fairly equal in price.

    Radar mounting on hardtop pics

    You may be right. Looked at it again, I think I can make out Furuno on it.

    Radar mounting on hardtop pics

    Thanks for your thoughts. Yes, that's a Point-1 GPS along with the XM-Weather antenna. I was planning on going with the 6" Scanstrut on the front of the hardtop. That should raise it high enough for the beam to be in a clear view. Unless you have a Marlin with the huge hardtop, I don't see...

    Radar mounting on hardtop pics

    Prefer not to have to move all the stuff on my top. Front overhang is what I'm looking at.

    Radar mounting on hardtop pics

    Is it mounted on a wedge or just flat mounted? Afraid if I mount flat the hump of the hardtop will block it. You have a flat hardtop.

    Switch panel

    Nice! I'm headed to Charleston in a couple of weeks, going to stop by New Wire while I'm down there and have them measure for a new gauge panel and flush mount area for my nss12. I could do it with some material off Amazon, but they cut it with a CNC machine and polish the edges, figure it'll...

    Radar mounting on hardtop pics

    I've seen those. Looking for personal install info too from our members, not just random internet pics. The search on GG didn't turn up much unless I didn't use the right words.

    Radar mounting on hardtop pics

    I'm looking at the Simrad Halo 24 for my 228 hardtop. I've seen discussions on here about mounting the dome on the hardtop but not seen very many pics of them mounted. I've used the search on here and it doesn't pull up many pictures either. I'm planning on mounting mine on the flat area of...

    Rub rail needed for 2004 Marlin

    Ouch!! I understand then. Thought it might have been faded. Acetone and 303 protectant did wonders on mine.

    Trailer tires

    Goodyear Endurance is my recommendation. Not familiar with any of those brands you listed.

    1985 208 Overnighter fuel tank dimensions

    Places were shut down over the holidays. This is first week back for many. Give them some time, I'm sure you weren't the only one to email them a question. They're playing catch up and should get back to you in time.

    Motor bracket vs transom mounted

    You won't be sorry. Love my '04 228. Understanding about the 228 quirks like the reverse thing going in to ownership, allows you to figure out how she handles a little faster than most. Take you time, get to know it, and enjoy it.

    Bow Pulpit Upgrade

    I also went with Mantus. So far, so good. Worked well in SC back in October. I'll give it a workout in the Keys in May.
