[C320-list] Radar

[Richard A. Walker]

Hi All,

I am considering adding a Garmin 18 "Radar and Chart Plotter to WindWalker.
I am replacing a 8 year old Garmin 215 plotter that has worked well but
getting out-of date.

There seems to be 3 locations for the RADAR:

*	Mast about at the lower spreader
*	Pole on the transom
*	Attached to the backstay where it splits (Questus Mount)

The good and bad seems to be:

*	Mast about at the lower spreader
o	Hard to run wire down the mast and thru the cabin.  More windage and
weight aloft.
*	Pole on the transom
o	Too much stuff there already with my dingy davits; but has a simple
wire run.
*	Attached to the backstay where it splits (Questus Mount)
o	Interesting but not much known.  Wire run is also easy.

Any of you folks have any suggestions?  Thanks in advance.
