[DG] [DG11] radar and rotating mast

[Derek - Raymarine - Moderator]

Hi Joao,

Raymarine would absolutely not advise mounting a radar on a rotating mast, the radar image is related directly to the physical alignment of the antenna, so not only will your radar picture be misleading and give you a false impression of what is ahead of you, the radar overlay feature of the AXIOM would be useless. the bearing information described by the radar would also be meaningless.

The recommended solution would be to use a 1.5m or 2m Pole on the aft quarterdeck, with the radar on top of that, or use a self levelling mount attached to the backstay.

I trust this helps?
Regards
Derek
