Steve-
I saw those replacement blades, but wanted to hear it from a sailor before I seriously considered them; thanks for the tip.
I have a question for you folks in regards to mounting the wind generator. On a previous boat, I had an AirX on this three-pole mount job, and it worked great. I currently have a "radar mast", essentially a rather firmly mounted post on the aft deck, with a radar, tv antenna, and cell antenna on it.
I'm thinking of getting rid of the cell antenna, getting a coupling or whatever I need to get the wind generator to fit right and have enough clearence, and leaving it up there.
I guess I'm asking for an overall theory on that installation, and especially if I should be thinking about horizontal load. It's not extreme is it? I mean it's not a piece of sail cloth up there, but it does have windage. Just wondering how much I should re-enforce it.
