Chuck, The T-108 is pretty simple, but installation will depend on what you already have up there. I had to send someone up and it turned out to be a pretty big deal since my old B&G system had some stripped screws up there. The bonus is there’s no wiring to be done.
You may find the readings a little quirky though. If you race, it’ll be frustrating. If you cruise and just want basic speed and wind angle, you’ll be pleased. I had a mid-mast repeater installed to help with the signal on mine, but you should be OK with a 34. Even if there is extra labor involved, it will probably be cheaper than getting a new wife who can hoist you up the mast. All the best, Edd Edd M.
