Installing a Simrad Halo 20+ radar on a 47-foot sailboat requires careful mast-mounted positioning to ensure the beam clears the bow.0:59 To prevent galvanic corrosion between the aluminum mast and stainless steel mounting hardware, the installation necessitates the use of isolators and bushings.3:14 Routing the radar cable through the mast involves fishing a line from the top, which often requires a borescope camera and a telescoping magnet tool to retrieve the cable end near the base.10:53 When standard fishing methods fail, enlarging the exit hole in the mast may be necessary to accommodate the cable connector.16:01 Following the radar installation, the crew secures the vessel with extra dock lines and sail lashings in preparation for an incoming hurricane, which later causes significant mudslides and property damage at their Baja, Mexico, residence.19:04
