I like it...No half measures. I hear you get great imaging if its bilge mounted.

Does it have any blind sector behind you? Or can you see detail behind you shooting through the visor?Mines mounted on the brow. I’ve been offshore Bamfield the last two days in the fog and it works just fine .
It's strictly an esthetic thing. It also takes up too much room. Something else to work around when throwing equipment up and down and moving things around.
GeniusHow about this???!View attachment 57852

It would not make a big difference, it will mess up your heading on sharp turns, other then that it will be fineAnyone ever consider mounting their radar offset to one side? I'm thinking of my view from the bridge if it's mounted on the brow might be obstructed. Why not mount it out of the way?
Hard to tell what we looking at, but you should be able to adjust your heading a bit so your pointing parallel to your boatWell I'd say I've got a blind spot. How much that'll matter while offshore is to be determined. View attachment 64959

Just sitting in my slip at the marina. You can see the lanes of water so it seems to be reading fine out front.Hard to tell what we looking at, but you should be able to adjust your heading a bit so your pointing parallel to your boat
Not to sure about lowrance units, but with mine I just use a the whistle buoy and point my boat at it, then adjust my heading then lock on, never perfect but close enough.from your pic it does look like something is blocking the one side, radar not mounted high enoughJust sitting in my slip at the marina.

100%, mounted on the brow. I knew there was a chance it would happen. I just didn't want it overhead. The bulk of the structure is fiberglass so I was told that the radar could shoot through it. Problem is the height I set it at ended up being right where all the gauges are. I don't think it'll matter once I'm out moving and bouncing and shifting side to side while under way. I'm sure I'll pick up things at a distance??I would speculate (without seeing your boat set up closely) that the radar isn't mounted high enough to scan thru the boat structure. It seems to be mounted too low behind something on your boat that blocks the signal aft.
It's pitched down 2 degrees because that's the difference when I'm up on plane.Could also be pointed forward and down to much. Looks like picking up stuff in the rear but quite farther back. Maybe to much wedge in it.
