Putting one anywhere lower than the top of the mizzen would eliminate the ability to fly either a mizzen staysail or a main backstaysail (mule). Something to think about.

I installed an Air-X marine wind generator on the mizzen mast of our M-40. It's definitely fine to keep the batteries charged on the mooring but not even close to keeping a refrigerator running non-stop. It might do the trick in a constant 25 knot breeze but doesn't cut it in the northeast breezes.
