windex 10 or windex 15

[e714753]

I want to install a new windex at the top of my 1977 catalina 22 and I want to know what size windex is appropriate for the 22, the windex 10 or 15 is better for this size boat?

Thanks in advance
Bobby

how good is your eyesight i like the bigger one for that very reason

Ditto on bigger is better. I have mine mounted on the masthead VHF antenna with a composite mount I made that puts the antenna in the exact center of the mast.

Attached is a photo of the antenna and windex with the mast down ready to trailer home. You can see the composite mount I made.

My preference on a small boat like yours would be the 10".

they both work identical... either size is perfectly fine for that boat. many larger boats have the smaller one and many smaller boats have the larger one.... no one will care what size it is but you... either one at that distance is easy enough to see, so it really comes down to how much you want to spend...

I had the big one, slowed me down so I got the small one...now it gets on plane in the slightest breeze!

Really I have the small one and it is easy to see, plus it was cheaper.

I had the smaller removable one. Handy if you trailer.

I had the 10" and it was perfectly fine for me

My wife did not want me to buy one since the ospreys broke the last one. So I made one out of a small piece of wood and plastic in the recycle bin. I painted it red and white. I love it works great and I can see it easy. I used the old mount. I also put a small brass sleeve in the wood so the SS bolt will turn freely when it rains. Made the new tabs from plastic and the wire is a coat hanger. I also added some nails to deter the birds.
