Everyone,
I need to purchase a new radar mounting platform for my Garmin 18" radar. My existing platform is held to the mast with two SS straps. However, the platform/mount has a crack in it. Can anyone recommend a current model of a radar platform/mount that can be strapped to the mast.
Thanks,
Mike Stangl

Hi,
No pictures
BUT
I would suggest welding the crack
If the plate is cracked you could weld a doubler over the entire plate.
OR
You might be able to weld a strip or two in appropriate places
The dome could be spaced with washers to clear any deviation from a flat top plate
You could even bolt some King Starboard plate on top of the aluminium plate

Hi Mike
Sorry for your troubles with the radar mount. If you have not already found a solution, I have a mount I took off my 36 that is yours for the cost of shipping (or for the cost of travel-I am in Newburyport MA, but will be on The Cape this weekend). The radius of the mount may need some working for your 30, hardwood radiused fillers should easily close any gap.
