The Rutland 503/504 Mounting Kit is available for deck

site conditions:
Pushpit (Fig.8)
A suitable pole mounted to the deck with deck plates and rigid
stays is the most popular method of mounting the Windcharger
on yachts, e.g. Rutland 504 Marine Mounting Kit CA-12/01 and
Marine Stays Kit CA-12/32 available from Marlec.
Mizzen (Fig.9)
Mizzen mounting is suitable on larger yachts, taking advantage of
greater wind flow the higher the wind turbine is mounted.
River Boats (Fig.10)
A pivot pole is ideal for river boats as the Wind charger can easily
be raised and lowered. The Rutland 503/504 Mounting Kit has a
hinge type deck fixing.
