Whilst its centreband response pattern is maintained at 15° tilt RCS is -5dB. To counter this and avoid 'mast shadow'.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePass a bight over the yardarm via a dead eye. Return bight through reflectors eye and secure taking lines through bight.

To avoid electrolytic action use zinc chromate paste between bracket and mast or closed cell foam tape. Firstly fix top bracket to mast in the required position measure distance vertically between centres mark position of lower bracket then drill and fix. Use two stainless steel hexagonal bolts 8mm dia x 30mm long to fix Echomax to the mounting brackets\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Echomax","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":59815637156174,"sku":"030-EM230MIDIOR","price":147.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1043\/8914\/9006\/files\/030-em230midior_ab483b57-dc13-47f4-a8fa-79ba0b24a84d.jpg?v=1780700503","url":"https:\/\/southernyachtelectrics.store\/products\/echomax-em230-midi-reflector-orange","provider":"Southern Yacht Electrics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
