Re: Stus-List NavPod -- Anyone Have One Of There? (Link Below)

2020-04-23 Thread Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List 
I have a different ‘pod - a ScanPod 
(https://scanstrut.com/products-22/scanpod/spr-8-am-detail). I thought that the 
swing arm would work for me, but, as Chuck mentioned, they don’t rotate. I got 
rid of the arm and installed a RAM mount articulated arm. The problem is that 
the wires run externally. But I don’t need that many (just one, for the 
network). This allows me to access the Autopilot’s head from the side and from 
in front of the wheel.

Pictures here (one is collapsed (as for storage - not to interfere with the 
wheel cover), the other is when in operation):

I have one on my boat but located the arm so the pod centers inside the guard, 
not off to the side.  One misconception is that the pod will rotate on the arm. 
 Not so.  It is designed to be fixed and will loosen up if left to rotate on 
the arm.  An inexpensive articulating instrument arm that allows wiring to run 
internally would be a godsend to most cruising sailors and electronics 
installers.

Listers,

Seeing as I do sometimes like to drive from the sides rather than the hump, has 
anyone ever installed one of these?

Any pros or cons?

Stay safe everyone.

I don’t think that one is designed to swivel easily.  The similar pods I have 
use a thread and nut that clamps down to keep it from moving.  Maybe this one 
is different.  I have the older version of the Scanstrut Deckpod which I really 
like.  The new one looks even nicer.  It is mounted on a platform in front of 
the guard so can rotate and tilt to any angle.  Dave
