Furuno DRS12AX 12kW UHD Digital Radar w/Pedestal 15M Cable & 4 Open Array Antenna

The Furuno DRS12A-X UHD digital radar system keeps offshore motor yachts safe when cruising through dense regional coastal channels. Heavy night fog and sudden maritime rain frequently mask dangerous structural obstacles, blinding baseline instrumentation layouts. Installing this high performance marine radar bundle delivers outstanding target tracking, allowing operators maintain a highly reliable digital radar array framework during close-quarters maneuvers.

This high definition open array radar operates on a powerful 12kW magnetron pulse transmitter. Unlike legacy receptors that struggle with heavy wave clutter, this open array radar system utilizes advanced ultra-high-definition digital processing to isolate smaller objects across a 72 nautical mile range. The physical pedestal assembly achieves full IP56 waterproofing protection. This watertight shell isolates critical components from high pressure sea spray perfectly.

Why Choose This Radar over Generic Alternatives

Upgrading to this specialized boat radar dome package is ideal for mid-sized sportfishers requiring professional target separation. Unlike bulky 6ft arrays that create dangerous deck overhangs, this 4ft digital open array fits compact T-tops perfectly. It delivers exceptional target isolation across a 72 nautical mile range, making sure recreational boater crews avoid unexpected tracking dropouts during extreme coastal water transits safely.

Application & Limitations

This 4ft open array radar delivers outstanding navigation tracking on medium center consoles, sportfishers, and family cruising boats. However, because its magnetron transmitter utilizes a fixed 12kW pulse, its maximum range is capped at 72 nautical miles. Additionally, its substantial 44 lbs dry weight requires a rigid structural arch, while its active 100W draw demands an auxiliary battery rail setup.
