DANGEROUS!! Doral Radar arch fold down system

[javier140670]

I have 2002 Doral 310SE, cruising from Bimini to Miami with waves 4 to 5 ft at the gulf stream, suddenly the radar arch base attached to the boat with screw for fold down system was broken and the arch came down and almost hit me, was a nightmare, I was just with my wife 5 month pregnant and my 18 month son, the gulf stream with string currents and rough water, trying to hold the 100 lbs radar arch, I had to ask help by radio and navigate 31 mies to Miami without visibility. Im afradid to repair the damages and happen again, because if the fiberglass is too soft I believe it will happen again, BECARFULL GUYS!!!

Im waiting for the answer from Doral Boats International and the dealer in Florida Intermarine. All owners and future owners of Doral Boats need to think about this factory problem. Honestly, Is a miracle that Im alive!!

I have several pictures!!!!..... REPEAT: BECARFULLY WITH FOLD DOWN RADAR ARCH SYSTEM!!!!!!!!!!!.........

interested on pictures email me please: javier140670@yahoo.com

good luck!!!
