Raymarine 12kW Magnum w/4′ Array & 15M RayNet Radar Cable

The Raymarine Magnum 12kW open array radar provides extreme range target tracking when offshore sportfishers navigate deep blue waters. Severe maritime clutter and heavy squalls often blind weak commercial receivers, hiding smaller vessels. Installing this high performance magnetron radar secures clear situational awareness, preventing expensive marine electronics from failing during remote deep-sea exploration lines.

This long range marine radar utilizes a high-output 12kW peak power transmitter array. Unlike smaller closed radomes that fail to spot distant objects across the horizon, this open array radar system delivers clear target identification up to a massive 96 nautical miles range. The external aluminum cast chassis achieves an IPX6 waterproofing rating. This heavy seal blocks intense pressure wave impacts, keeping sensitive internal processing boards dry.

Why Choose This Bracket over Generic Alternatives

Choosing the professional Raymarine Magnum 12kW radar package is crucial for locating pelagic bird flocks at extreme distances. Unlike budget marine electronics that blur moving targets under heavy wave pitching, this high-performance array utilizes automated Bird Mode tracking and True Trails history logic. Its sharp 1.85-degree beamwidth provides detailed separation, while its universal RayNet port matches standard Axiom chartplotters perfectly.

Application & Limitations

This 4ft open array radar system delivers top-tier performance on offshore sportfishers, luxury motor yachts, and commercial coastal craft. However, because it carries a heavy 57.3 lbs body weight, it requires a rigid, structurally reinforced hardtop or radar arch. Additionally, its high-power magnetron draws a max 70 Watts of active electricity, requiring a heavy-duty 12V or 24V DC battery configuration.
