Furuno AUMOUNT-2 Mast Mount — Product description
Enhance your marine radar setup with the robust Furuno AUMOUNT-2 mast mount bracket, designed specifically for secure radome installation on masts. This precision-engineered accessory ensures your radar dome stays firmly in place amid rough seas and high winds, delivering reliable performance for navigation and fishfinding tasks.

Key Features of the Furuno AUMOUNT-2
- Durable stainless steel construction resists corrosion from saltwater exposure, extending the lifespan of your radar system.
- Easy-adjust angle mechanism allows for precise positioning to achieve the best radar horizon scan without complex tools.
- Universal fit for radomes up to a certain diameter, making it a versatile choice for various vessel types from small yachts to larger fishing boats.
- Compact footprint that integrates seamlessly with mast setups, preserving deck space and aesthetics.
What sets the AUMOUNT-2 apart is its thoughtful engineering for real-world marine conditions. Unlike basic brackets, it incorporates anti-vibration dampening to reduce wear on cables and electronics, ensuring consistent radar data even during prolonged voyages.
Compatibility with Furuno Radar Systems
The AUMOUNT-2 pairs perfectly with popular Furuno radome models in the DRS series and similar compact domes. It's engineered to handle the weight and dimensions of these units, preventing sagging or misalignment over time. Before mounting, confirm your radome's base diameter aligns with the bracket's adjustable clamps—most standard Furuno radomes slot right in with minimal adaptation.
Step-by-Step Installation Insights
Installing the Furuno AUMOUNT-2 is a breeze for DIY-savvy boat owners, typically taking under an hour. Start by securing the bracket to your mast using the provided high-strength bolts, ensuring it's level with a bubble tool. Slide the radome onto the mount, tighten the collar, and fine-tune the tilt for optimal beam elevation—aim for 15-20 degrees above horizontal for most applications. Pro tip: Apply marine-grade thread locker to all fasteners to combat loosening from constant motion.
Why Mariners Trust This Mast Mount Bracket
Beyond basic mounting, the AUMOUNT-2 elevates your boating experience by promoting superior radar coverage. Proper elevation reduces blind spots near the hull, crucial for collision avoidance in fog or at dusk. Its low-profile design also cuts wind resistance, aiding fuel efficiency on long passages. Regular users report fewer maintenance calls compared to generic mounts, thanks to its robust build that withstands UV rays, salt spray, and impacts from deck gear.
Maintenance for Long-Term Reliability
Keep your AUMOUNT-2 performing like new with simple care. Rinse with fresh water after every outing to flush salt buildup, inspect bolts quarterly for tightness, and lubricate pivot points annually with silicone-based grease. This routine prevents galvanic corrosion and ensures smooth adjustments season after season.
