    Distance from VHF radio to antenna

    Hi guys, I'm trial fitting everything in my boat before it gets painted. My question is how important is it to keep the VHF radio at least 3' from the antenna? Here is my dash. You can see where the antenna will mount on the gunnel. I am planning on the VHF radio and stereo head unit to...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I had a mountain bike powdercoated once. It was only $40 to strip, prep, and coat it. Five years later it still looks great. I also restored a 1980 Toro 826 Snowblower (all steel) that I had powdercoated. Very durable stuff.

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration They have some dock rash so I might take the belt sander to them and then hand sand the rest to get an even finish. I think the brushed look would look nice. How is your stuff holding up so far?

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration A few things.... Got my antanae mount problem figured out. I got a rail mount type. I'm going to have a 1" piece of solid round aluminum coming up through the gunnel so I can mount the ratchet real low. I'll have to brace it up underneath...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Got my dash panel laser cut today. Threw in a couple switches... Not sure how I feel about the emblems, they're a little to heavy duty (thick). I had them cut from the same 11 gauge SS. The v5 one is perfect, the other two got some burn...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Thanks, but I need C dimension to be 1/2". Appreciate you checking! I'm thinking what Glen proposed will be the route I'll have to take. Starcraft must bend them up at the factory to what they need. Hard to believe though we can't find...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Can't find them dang hinges! I found some local but they were 3/4" high not 1/2". I can't shim them down as there is an aluminum support all the way around the hatch. Keep an eye out for me peeps!

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Yeah, thanks for the tip. My hatch openings have factory aluminum supports all the way around so the hinge doesn't need to support much weight, just the door. The hinges I need are the exact ones I have on my SC 14'er. I'm pretty sure my local...
