Re: Radar Arch - Great Loop - 466
I've put the super structure on a 444, 466 would be very similar. It's not something you're going to do easily. There are bolts under the sides of the arch that bolt it to bridge and the hardtop is also integrated into it with a plexi-glass window back there and lots of caulking. Radar, etc is mounted on there and lots of wiring going through there that will most likely be too tight to simply tilt it back. I don't think you'll be able to pivot it back and if you could it's not going to give you a lot of clearance.
Sorry I couldn't give you a simple answer to this...

Did you also do the Erie Canal? Any problems there?

We just loosened the anchor light, but that wasn't necessary. We had plenty of clearance. We also have some friends with a 466 who have done the loop in the last 2 years and they had no problems.
I am looking at a 460 voyager that lists water line to arch at 19'11". The Chicago bridge is listed at 19" 1". The 506 is listed at waterline to arch at 20" 10" and the 466 at 19"5". Both made it under the bridge? Is Carver measuring to the anchor light?

Re: Radar Arch - Great Loop - 466
The water is at an all time high right. 5 years ago, it was about 4-5' lower. Last year it was at least 1 foot lower than now, and the year before more than 2 feet lower than this year.
