I am considering removing the mast from my C 28. I will never use the radar or TV antenna. I would install a new 360 running/anchor light. I am thinking of doing this for several reasons:
1. lower height of the boat for low bridge clearance
2. eliminate shadows on the solar panel
3. move the solar panel aft so I can open the forward hatches in the cabin top
4. lower the weight of the cabin top
Anybody have a reason why I shouldn't do this? I would, of course, store the mast and attachments in case the next owner would want to re-install them.
