Know before you buy
The Doppler technology allows the radar to instantly detect and color-code moving targets. It automatically highlights hazards approaching your vessel in red, making it much easier to identify potential collision risks at a glance.
The 6-foot length provides a narrower 1.2-degree horizontal beam width. This results in significantly better target separation and resolution, allowing you to distinguish between closely spaced objects that smaller antennas might blur together.
Yes, the dedicated Bird Mode is specifically designed to detect flocks of birds feeding on baitfish. By identifying these active areas, you can more effectively locate offshore fishing grounds.
No, this specific model does not support Ethernet connectivity. It is designed for a direct connection, so ensure your current display setup is compatible with this specific interface before installation.
This unit operates on a 12VDC to 24VDC power supply. Its simplified direct power connection makes it versatile for a wide range of boat electrical systems without requiring complex power converters.
The system features advanced ARPA capability, allowing it to track up to 100 targets simultaneously. This provides comprehensive situational awareness in busy waterways or high-traffic areas.
