6" or 12" Radar Mount on 2820?

[johnkn]

What's best, a 6" or 12" 4 degree BattleWagon mount for a Garmin Fantom 24 on a 2820? Anyone have a pic of a Garmin on a 6 or 12 mount? thanks

This info is not in the Garmin install book.

The unit your looking at has a 12.5deg beam up & down from centerline.

Go to this link. http://www.simrad-yachting.com/Root/Ins ... 3_EN_P.pdf

Now look at page 8 and 9.... Now measure the top on your boat...... Now plug the numbers in the data sheet on page 9 and you will have the CORRECT answer.

I would go with the 12" mount on a Parker. This way you get the beam higher and above the heads of those in cockpit. With the lower roof line due to the step down into the wheel house it is probably best to elevate higher so the transmission beam isnt going into the heads of those in the cockpit. It is not good for you, especially your eyes. This is of course unless you are going with a solid state radar, which is said to be safer. Then I would still go taller unless you are trailering.
