Argo...here's how my friends did theirs on a psc37. Hope this gives some ideas. I also have a larger version of this I can send via e-mail if you need it.
Just PM me if needed with your address.

One example

Attached are two photos of the FourWinds III generator which came on the PSC 37 which we just purchased. The pole is simply lag bolted through (not sure what the bolts go) without any braces! While it may not be ideal it was professionally installed that way back in 1994 and has cruised over 60K miles in the interim. Jay, PSC 37

Thanks for the pics. The one thing that I can't get around is that my radar is gimballed, and there is virtually nowhere to mount the wind generator that won't foul the radar if the radar unit swings out.

The radar mount is a Questus, is anyone familiar with that, and if there's a way to lock it off?

I'm leaning towards locking or lashing the radar off for the short term, and then coming up with a more integrated system like shown in the pictures sometime when I have more time, money, and inclination.
