Solar arch Eolios Arch
It is a standard solar arch that can be fitted to virtually any sailboat up to 50 feet in length. Manufactured in AISI-316 (maritime) steel with a bright polished finish (Ø35mm tube for the arches and Ø30mm for the central tubes), the Eolios Arch has a ball joint system that allows the arch to be adapted to any transom with an angle of 90º or greater (if less, the client you can make some adapter wedges as explained in the instructions). The arch is adjustable both in width and height by means of telescopic tubes. The four struts (two fixed on the rail and two on the transom) prevent bow sway.
The ball joint system consists of holes to pass the electrical cables so that they can circulate inside the tubes of the Eolios Arch until they reach the solar panels, wind turbine or radar. In this way the cables are always protected.
Eolios Arch comes equipped with quality bridles that hold 2 rings and ropes with pulleys in order to easily raise and lower the dinghy (maximum weight supported 50kg each ring).
This multifunction arch is designed to be easy to assemble and also comes with assembly instructions to guide the process step by step.

Characteristics:
Made of AISI-316 stainless steel (∅35mm tube for the arches and ∅30mm for the central tubes)
System with ball joints to regulate the position of the bow on the transom, designed in such a way that they even allow the passage of electrical cables through its interior.
Width and height of the arch adjustable through a system of telescopic tubes (maximum width of the arch 3.5m).
Fixing struts to the railing and to the transom, to prevent movement of the arch.
Rings and pulley system with ropes to raise and lower the auxiliary boat (maximum weight supported 50kg each ring).
Assembly instructions.
Maintenance:
To avoid electrolysis (corrosion reaction that occurs when 2 dissimilar metals come into contact in a marine or corrosive environment) you must fit nylon washers. They are placed between the screw and the solar panel, and between the bracket and the solar panel.
Even with the nylon washers in place, there is still an electrical current in the gantry which attracts particles from the environment and over time can generate a corroded appearance in places. This is not true corrosion of the stainless steel, as cleaning of these spots will show that it is easily removed. Periodic cleaning of the gantry is recommended to avoid this corrosion.
Warnings:
When sailing with the dinghy hanging from the solar arch, it should be borne in mind that it may fill with water due to waves or rain. In this case, the weight can be much higher and the solar arch could collapse. So the recommendation is to hang the dinghy upside down so that no water can get in and not to leave the outboard motor hanging.
