Raymarine 12kW Magnum w/6 Array & 15M RayNet Radar Cable

The Raymarine Magnum 12kW open array radar provides extreme range target tracking when luxury yachts navigate deep open ocean waters. Severe maritime clutter and heavy coastal squalls regularly blind basic commercial receivers, hiding smaller objects. Installing this high performance magnetron radar system delivers unparalleled situational clarity, ensuring vessel captains maintain precise navigation tracking control during rough sea transit lines safely.

This high performance magnetron radar utilizes an advanced 12kW peak power transmitter running through a 6ft antenna assembly. Unlike baseline closed radomes that blur targets at long distances, this open array radar provides a razor-sharp 1.15-degree beamwidth. The heavy-duty cast pedestal achieves full IPX6 waterproofing. This watertight chassis completely isolates delicate internal receivers from high pressure waves, making long range marine radar tracking exceptionally stable.

Why Choose This Bracket over Generic Alternatives

Selecting the professional Raymarine Magnum 12kW Open Array Radar with 6ft Antenna package is ideal for finding small birds or remote targets at extreme distances. Unlike weak radomes that drop packets during high wind vibration, this system integrates high-performance MARPA tracking, Bird Mode enhancement, and True Trails history. Its sharp 1.15-degree horizontal beamwidth stabilizes target positions up to 96 nautical miles across RayNet systems safely.

Application & Limitations

This heavy-duty 12kW radar system delivers extreme target identification on commercial coastal craft, multi-deck motor yachts, and serious sportfishing fleets. However, because its pedestal and 6ft antenna profile generate a combined dry weight of 63.9 lbs (29kg), it cannot mount onto lightweight hulls or unreinforced canvas arches. Additionally, its active processing demands up to 70 Watts maximum power draw, requiring a high-capacity 12V/24V DC battery line.
