Motorised T radar arch

[Fifty-fifty]

Hi all I would love some advice. I have a sealine statesman 330 with a T style (Bonner) radar arch. My boat Is moored on the Norfolk Broads . To get out to sea from great Yarmouth I need to lower the arch. Although it's on hinges it weighs alot which needs two people to complete this. I am looking to get the arch motorised. Does anyone know anyone that could do this for me. Thankyou.

counter balanced gas struts are the normal way to go

Do you know anyone that could do it?

where are you based, no someone had theirs done by Newark marine, most yards should be able to do it , most of the hard work done on hinging the arch, even you just weigh the arch and buy the appropriate gas rams
, z few screws to fit

Brooms at Brundall will do it for you, think they are still doing refurbs and maintenance

I once saw a sealine that had the arch supported on a stainless steel prop, or you could have it removed, are you sure you can get out of Great Yarmouth under the Haven bridge, if memory serves me right, it has a 2 m clearance when closed, Brendon 4m plus ,but not been that way for a good few years so might have changed.
