Air Breeze wind generator pole mounted - 2011


One strut on.
Today we mounted the Air Breeze wind generator pole on the boat. It is still very temporary but were getting an idea of how long the struts need to be and can we add one. There are some basic measurements that need to be met and one we cannot. 
December 2011 - Currently at Marina Cortez Harbor Island, San Diego, CA

That is the strut from the pole to the stern steps. It should have a minimum of 3.5 feet and there is no way unless you are willing to give up the stern steps, we are not.
Port strut mount in with one temp bolt.
We may need to cut 4" off the pole to keep with the required measurements.
We hoping to add another strut to the pole and just under the solar panel.
 All in all, it seems to be working out fine. We still need to quite a bit, but it is essentially up there.
