Hello, as a new owner of a River Pilot I appear to have roof accomodation for a radar but no need for anything to put in it. I'd like to swap it for a 'flat' style roof as there is very little clearance under a couple of bridges on the my local river.
Any comments most welcome

Phil,
I did not want to add radar arch as thought this would make things look top heavy.

Decided to fix radar reflector, radar dome, chart plotter antenna, radio mast and twin horns onto roof. Quite a lot of kit to find the space. It does however leaves hatch to be covered with canvas or clear panel.

Regards,
Kenny

Hi all, my Navigator has a sheet of ply instead of a wheelhouse skylight, now in desperate need of replacement. Not being ok with drilling holes in the roof, when i bought her, i mounted everything to the ply. I would like to fit a skylight. (that's another subject) Would welcombe opinions on mounting a SS Radar Arch to mount everything too. Would it look silly on an 18ft boat? Has anyone fitted to your own Navigator or pilot?
Or would you have any other ideas please?

DIMENSIONS,25MM TUBE
80CM LONG AT THE BASE
24.5CM WIDE AT THE BASE SLOPING TO 12.5CM AT THE TOP
28CM HIGH
