    Kenyon Mast Radar Installation

    Hi all, need some help/advice here. Have an 84 E38 with a Kenyon mast and am trying to install a mast mount radome. There's not really a conduit in the mast that I can discern for running cables in. I think there is a track at the aft side of the mast which the nav light wiring is running...

    Radar mount location (can of worms question)

    Hi all, sure there are other threads about this... I have to mount a radome (4kw, 24" Raymarine)... am looking to go from san diego to hawaii this summer... so, the stern mount vs mast mount and stationary vs self leveling questions arise... Mast mount for the extra range on the horizon makes...

    Almost like radar!

    It was time to upgrade to a DSC VHF radio and I ended up with a Standard Horizon Matrix GX2100. This unit has an integrated AIS receiver which displays position, course and speed of AIS transmitting ships relative to your boat. Just fired it up and it works nicely. You can also select a...

    Furuno 1622 Radar on the fritz.

    Furuno 1622 Radar on the fritz. I went out for a day sail on a beautifully clear day on Saturday and thought it would be a good time to practice using my radar. I must have run it for close to 4 hours and most of the day I was on a fairly light heel with 10 - 12 knot winds. Later in the day...

    Simrad BR24 Broadband Radar ?

    Have any of you seen the Simrad BR24 Broadband Radar in actual use ? The review I just read in the latest SCCA Ocean Navigator issue makes it sound as if we are getting into the radar market at just the right time ! I'm just wondering if it is too good to be true ? -Sven

    Path for radar cable

    I'm looking at the alternatives on where to install the radome, and the chartplotter/radar display, on an E32-200. On this boat it looks like the steering pedestal is the only feasible and useful place for the display. So cable has to get there, either from the stern, or up on the mast. Running...

    AIS or Radar for a coastal cruise?

    Lately I have been going back and forth on installing a radar in my 32 for a five-week cruise to Catalina and back with stops in between that I will be leaving for at the end of June. Latitude ran a piece on AIS a few months ago, and many people wrote extolling the virtues of this technology--a...

    Radar mount: Questus Backstay or Garhauer pole?

    Finished one project and on to another! I'm going to get a Furuno 2KW radar and am debating mounting options. I am debating either the Garhauer pole or Questus backstay mount. This would be for coastal and bay cruising, and if I go the pole route, I may put a solar panel on it. I know both...

    WANTED: 2-3/8" flange base for radar post

    Does anyone know a good source for a 2-3/8" flange base for an aluminum radar post mounted on the transom? The Navcom flange base mounts sold by Edson are $80. I also need a rail bracket for the 2-3/8" aluminum post, which costs about $120 at Edson. $200 for both is on the high side. Thanks...

    Edson radar bracket.

    All, I just stumbled on this bracket on eBay for anyone thinking of getting one. It ain't mine, I don't know who's selling it and I'll be just as poor after it sells. Glyn Judson, E31 hull #55, Marina del Rey, CA

    Radar mounting on a backstay

    OK- I have done the research and decided I want to go with a backstay mounted and gimbaled installation for my radar. I have looked at several options and looks like options are Questus, ScanStrut and Waltz. Waltz looks like it just came out of receivership or a sale or something and aside...

    Marina cut the radar cable!

    In checking out my E-27 after the marina took down the mast and put the boat up for winter storage, I noticed that the large, multi-stranded wire for the Furuno radar was cut. Last year a different marina had called me prior to lowering the mast, and I had to come down and unstring the radar...

    radar display placement

    So, I got this good deal on a JRC 1800 radar for my 85 E38. Now I need to find a good spot for the display. Iam leaning toward a mount on the binnacle. Pros or cons? thanks, Hodo :devil:

    radar location

    I just purchased a raymarine 2KW radome and havent yet determined where to install it, either on the mast or a stern pole. Although the pole is a more expensive install, I understand that the radar picks up bouys in the fog better, when entering a channel, but who knows. Anyone with experience...

    Radar Wanted

    With all the talk about RADAR, I am interested in putting it onboard. Does anyone have reccomendations on what to get? I know I want a color system... But I don't know where to look. Am I better off mixing and matching the dome and display on eBay to save money, or should I buy a brand new...

    Self-Leveling Radar Mount Wanted

    I put this on the 'For Sale and Wanted' listing, but thought I would add it here also. While I am not looking to take advantage of the horrendous damage that has taken place in Florida due to the hurricanes (my sister and my nephew and his family live in Punta Gorda/Port Charlotte and were...

    Radar on E27

    I have been given a used Raytheon R-10, and wondered if anyone has any tips/warnings about installing it. Is it best to put the dish on the mast or at the stern on a pole? Best place for screen? Any ideas would be welcome.

    I installed a Furuno 1620 Radar on a E-27

    I just wanted to thank all that helped in my decision to install a transom radar mast on my 1973 E-27. I installed a Furuno 1620 with a Edson mast kit. It took around 10 hours for the installation because there were a couple of parts that needed to be fabricated.

    Has anyone installed a radar on a E-27?

    Has anyone installed a radar on a 1973 (or there abouts) E-27. I have been told I would have to step the mast at great expense, so now I am looking into putting a radar mast on the transom. Please advise with pros & cons. Also interested in where to put the screen. I have a Furuno 1622 with...
