    Horizontal instrument mounts

    Thanks PVB - yes I have seen these pods but am looking for a flush mounted angled base for the instrument - if you see what I mean. Could make one from hardwood - or tupperware box - but looks count.

    Horizontal instrument mounts

    I need to mount a Nasa Target 2 onto a horizontal surface. For various reasons I want to avoid a bracket arrangement and am looking for an angle mount to tilt the face towards the helm and at the same time protect the wiring. I'm sure I have seen such mounts in the past - they may have been...

    Check your moorings!

    UFO 31 Your UFO31 looks to have a taller rig than the standard masthead one which appears shorter with just one spreader. I completed mine from a "kit" in 1980 and had her for twenty years - great boat, a bit twichy downhill but safe and with a powerful rudder. Had lots of heavy weather...
