Know before you buy
The DRS12A is designed to integrate seamlessly with Furuno NAVnet 3D marine electronics, including the TZtouch and TZT series displays.
Because this unit features a high-output 12kW transmitter, some vessel electrical configurations may require an auxiliary power supply to ensure the radar receives consistent, stable voltage for full operational performance.
Ultra High Definition (UHD) digital processing significantly improves target separation and clarity, allowing you to distinguish between small objects or close-range targets that standard analog radars might blur together.
This unit was removed during a recent electronics refit and has been confirmed to be in good working order. It is a pre-owned component ready for immediate deployment.
The DRS12A utilizes a 6-foot open array antenna, which provides a narrower horizontal beam width compared to smaller arrays, resulting in superior angular resolution and target definition.
This product is backed by a 14-day return policy, allowing you sufficient time to verify the unit's functionality with your existing onboard electronics.
