I installed a new radar on my 323 last summer, and am looking for solutions to correcting the angularity of the mount. Long story short, I did not want a mast mount so I opted for a Scanstrut backstay mount. The issue is related to the split backstay.
Because there is really no room around the base of the backstay, I attached the radar “mast” bracket to the transom. That worked out fairly well. The “mast “ fit between the railings on the pushpit with about an inch of clearance.
The problem is due to the transom curvature, the radome ends up pointing about 10-15 degrees from parallel to the centerline of the boat. Not being a mathematical genius, and working with a mounting bracket that is only about 1-1/2 by 2-1/2 inches, I need some suggestions for creating some wedge type shims to compensate for the angularity. (Ignore the dirty boat, It just came out of winter storage )
