I designed the mount here for the Pod and Plotter to be able to move and angle as needed to see from either wheel. The two swivel mounts where mounted to a custom made carbon fibre tube by Rossi (CLEAR AIR Yacht Services).
The HD Raymarine Radar was mounted on a custom made carbon fibre pole and mount made by Rossi, the top swivel for the radar was Rossi's design, the racking back of the post was insisted by myself to give it the look I was looking for, and it had to be free standing. Rossi is the best carbon fibre fabricator in the area, so I was glad to have Rossi involved with this project.
We also installed Raymarine's AIS on this boat, to allow the owner to be tracked and to track other vessels.
"Richard did a large installation job for me on my Beneteau First 45. A very large problem he had to overcome was there was no place to put the chart plotter. Richard, working with Rossi Milev (Clear Air), designed and installed a custom mount that works wonderfully without interfering with the main sheet, wheels, or winches. I can't imagine a better solution. The radar installation was also very clean and ascetically fits the boat design well, in addition to being functional. The additional wiring is especially clean; there was very little choice on where to put it; the best solution involved working in very cramped quarters which Richard was willing to undertake. Overall, a very professional job that I am pleased with; it could not have been better done."
