Raymarine Magnum 6 Array

The Raymarine Magnum 6ft open array antenna increases radar target tracking when long-range commercial craft cruise open offshore waters. Severe maritime clutter often hides small targets, creating immediate navigational navigation blockouts. Installing this high performance radar component delivers narrow horizontal beamwidth focus, ensuring vessel captains maintain total situational awareness during rough sea transit operations safely.

This high performance radar component features a rugged 76.5-inch fiberglass shell optimized for premium exterior mast placements. Unlike small radome housings that blur close azimuth lines, this open array antenna delivers an ultra-sharp 1.15-degree horizontal beamwidth. The exterior shell achieves complete IPX6 waterproofing protection. This watertight barrier fully seals the interior brass arrays from heavy sea spray, making long-range bird mode target tracking highly effective.

Why Choose This Bracket over Generic Alternatives

Upgrading to the genuine Raymarine Magnum 6ft open array antenna is essential for achieving elite target separation over long distances. Unlike generic replacement whips with sloppy internal tolerances that introduce target blur, this high performance radar component provides a razor-sharp 1.15-degree beamwidth. It perfectly matches existing Magnum 4kW and 12kW pedestal infrastructures, protecting commercial operators from unexpected radar display blackouts safely.

Application & Limitations

This 6ft open array antenna excels as a dedicated radar upgrade on commercial vessels, large luxury motor yachts, and blue-water sportfishers. However, because it features an extended length of 76.5 inches (1.94m), it cannot mount onto narrow hardtops or small radar arches without creating dangerous overhang risks. Additionally, since this is an antenna component only, it requires a compatible Magnum pedestal core to transmit signals.
