Got the Radar pole gear removed
23 07, 16
With some help from TK I've got the radar pole and all the gear removed. I have to take it to Kato this week to see what they can do to make it right. The one bolt that was left holding the rig up was very worn. Good thing we tied her up on the sail to and from Bermuda otherwise that bolt would have snapped. Everything else looks good, there is one antenna wire that has some outer shielding damage, but that should not be hard to deal with. I'll have to repack the lockers, but likely won't do that for a few more days as I have to lube the steering mech.
I'm also looking to replace the autopilot computer, the drive unit and sensors are all compatible with the new unit. i'll post more if i do this.
