After delaying my mast stepping by two extra weeks while waiting for my new “approved” radar reflector to arrive, it was a huge disappointment. When it did arrive it was (a) NOT orange, and (b) it was completely HOLLOW AND EMPTY. It did not have any aluminum grid inside. I do not know how this little “defect” made it out of the factory, shipped across the pond, and was almost installed! I mean, this is safety gear after all. Is nobody checking quality at the factory?
The first picture looks through all the way to the top, just an empty plastic shell, no internals. The next picture shows an aluminum grid inside when looking up the bottom drain hole. Deciding not to wait any longer, I installed a skinnier/taller (non-compliant) Echomax that was bought months prior. The defective reflector back was shipped back. What a waste of time and money!
