Common Concerns Answered
Will this wedge affect my radar's overall performance negatively?
No, this wedge is specifically designed to correct the radar's downward tilt caused by mounting on a sloped surface, thereby improving horizontal scanning and accurate target detection. It aligns the radar beam parallel to the water's surface.
Is the material durable enough for saltwater environments?
Yes, the wedge is constructed from powder-coated aluminum, a material known for its excellent corrosion resistance in harsh marine conditions, ensuring long-term reliability.
What if my radar is slightly larger or smaller than 18"-24"?
This wedge is engineered for a snug fit with radar domes within the specified 18"-24" diameter range. It's crucial to confirm your radar's exact dimensions before purchase to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
