Hi Guys-

was not

|
| Quote: | No big deal, you think? Well, it is if you've mounted the ELT remote
on your panel and have no way to access the battery.
|
| Quote: | So, be forewarned... ensure you can easily remove the ELT remote to
insert/change the battery. I can access mine by removing my GPS, but a
friend of mine building a SeaStar would have had a lot of trouble if I
hadn't pointed it out.

My remote head is in an extremely convenient spot for utility / ergonomics,
and a miserable / impossible spot for maintenance. I ended up using
nutserts in the panel. I was afraid that the nutserts would make for an
unsightly installation since their slightly proud face will leave a tiny
gap between the control head flange and the panel, but with them both being
black the only way you can notice is if you back light the installation.
The purists among us might be motivated to install a shim / gasket under
the flange...
