Raymarine Cyclone 6 Open Array Only

The Raymarine Cyclone 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, allowing vessel captains maintain total situational awareness during rough sea transit operations safely.

This high performance radar component features a rugged 74.3-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 1.32-degree horizontal beamwidth. The exterior shell achieves complete weather protection. This watertight barrier fully seals the interior brass arrays from heavy sea spray, making long-range bird mode target tracking highly effective over years of deep ocean deck operation.

Why Choose This Radar over Generic Alternatives

Upgrading to the genuine Raymarine Cyclone 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 1.32-degree beamwidth. It perfectly matches existing Cyclone and Cyclone Pro pedestal configurations, 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 74.3 inches (1888mm), 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 Cyclone pedestal core to transmit signals.
