Equip your vessel with cutting-edge navigation technology designed for reliability in demanding marine environments. The Furuno FAR-1513 delivers exceptional target detection and tracking, empowering skippers to navigate confidently through fog, heavy traffic, or rough seas. This black box radar system packs professional-grade performance into a compact, intuitive setup, ideal for commercial fishing boats, workboats, and yachts seeking uncompromising safety without unnecessary bulk.
Visualize your surroundings like never before. This innovative function paints moving vessels in green, stationary objects in red, sea clutter in blue, rain in yellow, and approaching threats in orange. No more guessing—spot potential collisions or obstacles at a glance, boosting your reaction time in critical moments like busy ports or low-visibility conditions.
Select any echo, and within seconds, get accurate speed and course vectors. Perfect for anticipating crossings in shipping lanes or monitoring fishing fleets, this feature simplifies collision avoidance and supports informed decision-making during long passages.
One-touch activation adapts gain and filters to match sea state—calm waters, rough swells, or pounding rain. Say goodbye to manual tweaks; maintain a crystal-clear picture effortlessly, even as conditions shift rapidly on extended voyages.
Tailor screens to your workflow: zoom on nearby threats, overlay AIS data, or prioritize vector lists. Compatible with high-brightness displays like the MU-190 or MU-150HD, it ensures readability under direct sunlight or at night.
Overlay up to 40 AIS targets directly on radar echoes for hybrid situational awareness. Ethernet connectivity lets you link multiple units, controlling everything from a single station—streamline operations on multi-station vessels.
Knobs for instant gain/sea/rain adjustments, RotoKey for menu navigation, and touch support make operation instinctive. Add a trackball or USB mouse for familiarity, reducing crew training time and errors during high-stress scenarios.
From trawler captains dodging gear in dense fog to patrol boats securing coastlines at night, the FAR-1513 excels where visibility fails. Its X-band precision cuts through interference, delivering 96 nm range for early warnings on open ocean runs. Scalable for solo operators or bridged teams, it turns complex data into actionable insights, minimizing risks and maximizing efficiency.
