Sure. I actually just modified a radar arch from a power boat that I found at a local chandlery. Had to cut it shorter and modify the mounting plates to match the deck curvature then used starboard as a base and thru bolted it. The backing plates are also stainless. Unfortunately, I don't have many specific pictures of the install but here is what I do have: Arch Pics <https://imgur.com/a/nc1jaPK> It was an ever-changing install but I'm very happy with it. It is very sturdy. One thing that I have noticed on many panel installs that, in my opinion, is a bit of overkill is the bracing/frame under the panel itself. The panel's opwn frame is incredibly strong and well built and I've never had an issue with the way we installed them. The panels are used like a hard bimini and it's pretty typical for people to grab onto them while stepping onto/off of the boat or when heeled way over. She was moored in Isla Mujeres last year and Hurricane Michael in its early stages swept through with 60 knot gusts and the panels held strong with no damage at all. Happy to answer any other specific questions you may have.
