Got the vhf mounted in the lower left corner of the dash. The was a factory installed iPod reader there which I would never use. I remove it and used the existing hole in the dash for the vhf. Not the most ideal location but it will do for now. If my knee hits it too often, Connecting to the...

When roof mounting the vhf antenna, do you just pass the entire coax through a hole in the roof or do you connect to a through-roof/deck connector?

Everyone has been responsive and helpful, much appreciated. rloomis, I like your setup, but I still don't see how you got nuts on the other end of the screws.

The Standard Horizon Eclipse GX1150 is a very basic model. Mike is front mounted, remote operation doesn't appear possible. Rloomis, your cabin roof looks like mine. Is your mounting bracket held with self-taping screws into the roof fiberglass or are they screws with nuts? In that area, my...

Capt Ron and rloomis, I'm liking the ceiling mount. Rloomis, how did you do the remote mike mount? Dale, I have the SH GX1150 DSC+, it appears simple for my simple mind, others are way too complicated. Thanks for the input.

Good point Capt Ron. There are not too many places I can put the vhf out of the way of knees, elbows, or behind the chair.

Thanks Capt Ron and Megabyte. I was thinking about the roof mount. Parker extended the binnacle mount area to include a cup holder, so the whole thing extends back much further than yours Megabyte. That is a good spot if mine didn't go back so far.

Got a new VHF for my 2120. Looking for suggestions on the install location. Directions that came with the radio recommends install 1 m or greater from compass and antenna. Many pictures of CP members' helms show the VHF well within a meter of the compass. What impact do you see on the...

Brent, can you provide more details on the shade you have on your boat? I have been looking for a way to put shade over the deck behind the pilot house of my 2120. Thanks.

Good work and lots of it. Where did you get your bimini? I am looking for shade over the deck behind the pilot house. thanks.

I found Boat Covers Direct that has a cover for a walk-around with hard top and bow rail that might work. i think the cover is made by Carver. Price is about $600.

Thanks Mokee. Your cover leaves the pilot house uncovered? Do you have a picture?

Does anyone have a cover for their 2120 SC? If you do, where did you get it? Thanks

Are you doing hull sides and bottom? Is your boat off or on a trailer?

Got it. Thanks.

Polishing the hull but cannot polish where bunks contact hull. What is the best way to move the boat while on a bunk trailer to polish the hull bottom? It is a 2120 SC. thanks.

Got it. thanks

Dale, Your drawings imply little difference, the exception being a separate top cap versus one that is integral to the 'liner'. So, if a two piece boat is a liner-less boat, it still has an interior wall to which the deck joins? Sorry, if I sound so dense.

Great info. Thanks.

I am not certain what a liner is either. I am just repeating what I heard. Is it something to do with a tw piece boat versus three piece boat?
