Anyone with a Blipper 210-7 or Echomax 230BR. radar reflecter fitted on your mast that is unstepped at present.
I am looking for the deminsions of the mast mounting brackets for the blipper.
Need measurement from outer bolt hole to revit holes on legs and bracket side leg width.
I want to make a set of brackets.
Your help appreciated.

Sarabande, the brackets I had in mind are different.
Nontheless thanks for the effort you went to to get the pics for me.
Apparently the Echomax EM230BR is a direct replacement for the Blipper 210-7, at least the brackets are supposed to be used on either unit.

Pete why did you change from the Blipper to the Echomax?
Thanks for the links.
Well done lads.

Edit.
Having just read the Echomax website explaining just how bad the Blipper permorms could explain why you replaced yours!
Wondering if its worth fitting at all.

My Blipper was 20 years old and had gone very discoloured with green and black splodges. The mast was down, so I thought I'd replace it for cosmetic reasons (thinking of selling boat in a year or two's time). Echomax seem to get better reviews than Blippers, and as they did one which fitted on the Blipper brackets, I chose that.

Apparently the Blipper does not meat any of the maritime standards:eek: and are more suited to a Stealth Bomber.
Shocked.
