Mechanising a Broom Radar Arch

[Newbroom]

I am looking at buying another Broom which though the Radar arch is already hinged it is not mechanised.
I am looking for a company who could fit it with hydraulics. A powered system not just gas struts. While I know Broom can do the job they want an incredible amount of money to do the job and need the boat taken to there yard.
I would like to find somebody on the South coast or the Thames who would be capable of doing the whole job.
Any ideas or recommendations???

A client has just had it done on a 42CL.

I've not seen it in action yet so can't comment or recommend just yet. But I expect the process to have all gone smoothly. Thames based.

Will report back at the end of the week.

If you're in the Broom Owners Club, ask on the forum, quite likely someone else has done this.

Still looking for someone who could do this job.
Besides Brooms I have only found one person who could do this but he is taking on no work on due to illness.

I have found a company doing electrical actuators which are more than capable of supplying the parts but I need somebody to be able to do the reinforcing and fabrication of the mounts.

The arch weighs in excess of 70 kg and even with gas struts is going to be a handful because of the span. Anybody got any more suggestions please.

Also I know of another 450 who wants his done and we could have both boats done at the same time

Can recommend speaking with Richard Meade of Marine Solutions. Richard is on the Thames. Think I know the boat Marine Reflections is referring to and if I am correct can confirm retro fit went well and works. Neat job too. Will try to PM you.
