Re: Radar Mast

i have Mike Dolans Mast. I was going to use it, but probably going a different route . Donation to site and you can have it, as long as its Ok with Mike.

As it is, it does not fold down. But think it would be easly modified

Fiberglass exhaust fittings

On exhaust is it ok to use a "T" instead of a "Y". Or is the the turn too abrupt? And if custom fittings are made do you just cut a straight piece and glass it together at needed angle?
As far as genset exhaust or raw water intake, tieing into engine exhaust or intake, bad idea??
Thanks
