I am wondering if anyone has measurements for the in-water bridge clearance for the R27 OB. Looking for two measurements:
1) with the radar mast up?
2) with the radar mast lowered on its hinge?

Thanks in advance!
 
I found 8 foot 6 inches mast down on the spec sheet from RT website. I didn’t see a height for mast up.

Thanks so much! After reading your post, I had a look in my original R-27 brochure, and there it was. Still hoping to get the mast up distance, but now I might be able to measure for myself.
 
When I measured mine I got 11 feet mast up VHF antenna down and 15½ feet with VHF up.

Agreed, I believe our 27 is just under <11' 9" mast up VHF down..
