The indicator can be easily removed from its mounting bracket with a single screw, and the mast bracket can be mounted vertically or horizontally, providing flexibility in installation. With its compact dimensions and lightweight design, the Great Hawk is an essential accessory for any boat, ensuring that you are always prepared for the elements.
