R23 Luggage Rack post spacing for solar panel

[Craigmconrad]

Does anyone know the approximate distance between crossbars on the R23. Looking to mount a 64" long solar panel and would like to know if it will be too big.

I mounted these rails fore and aft to the sports rack.

Then mounted the solar panel to the T-slot rails. Provided much more flexibility in mounting location and additional stiffness for the solar panel.

I can measure if you need me to. But wanted to also mention - we put a canvas enclosure on our cockpit and mounted solar panels on top of the enclosure (200W I think).

This leaves our roof rack for other things.

Thanks for the info, greatly appreciated

I put this unit on my R-23 and it fit very well, 63" long. Used Stainless U bolts to attach it to the rails.
