The 4" base was just too big to fit around the existing stanchions, cleats and lines aft. As a result, one of those "why does this take so long" sort of problems needed to get worked through. I'm going to try this, it's an 2" ID aluminum casting from the base of a club boom (maybe, it's not like any spinnaker pole end fitting i've seen) with room for three M19 (metric) thread set screws. It looks like a 1" clamp for a Bimini will make a good pipe clamp to hold the base to one of the stanchions. The weight of the radar will be born by the stanchion base and the whole assembly will remain clear of the dock lines...
