HS...in an earlier post on the other thread I researched and found the whole thing for about $800 as I recall but don't want to bother with doing that again for the sake of a few hundred.
I do not disagree with your analysis that the stik is well built and a precision piece of work that may appeal to a certain customer. My larger point is that 3 way adjustability and adjustment 3 times a day at minimum is a pain in the butt for a cruiser and that in ON THE WATER at anchor situations, much of the directabiliity benefits of the stik are lost due to tide, wind, current and wake moving the boat while you are down below or off the boat and not paying attention.
It is better and cheaper IMHO to simply rail or bimini mount two LARGER panels AND get a wind generator to supply the needs of most cruisers. I fully understand that the stik is a solution for some. Just pointing out that other less expensive and less labor intensive options exist for most to get the requisite A/H's into their battery bank.
