Help needed in West Palm Beach

Hi Folks

We are just finishing up a passage from the Chesapeake Bay to West Palm Beach, FL. Yesterday our Raymarine Win Transducer ST60 broke free up up on the top of the mast, took out our manual wind instruments and has stopped our VHF/AIS Antenna from working.

I'm looking for a tech in West Palm Beach that can help.

Do any of you have any good contacts that may be able to take on the work?

Thank you!

This reads like a bridge hit or a lightning strike???
Ive had lots of work done by/at cracker boy yard that should be close to you.

LOL - Not at all, we were open ocean, the transducer just came loose and hit a few other things in the process! I need someone mobile that is able to come out to the mooring field at Wesr Palm.

Thank you

You might check with Nance&Underwood, the riggers. Not sure about the mooring field bit, but you can ask!

Sounds more like a Pelican hit n run. Finding riggers to come to the boat may be a struggle plus you pay by the hour. Better off at a dock where the riggers have an office/van full of stuff.

If you must go to a marina ... I learned the hard way ... do not give Riviera Beach City Marina your credit card.
