Furuno 1945 6kW 4' Open Array 10.4" Color LCD Radar — Product description
Discover Superior Visibility on the Water with the Furuno 1945 Radar
Navigating challenging waters demands equipment you can trust, whether you're chasing fish at dawn, cruising coastal routes, or handling commercial operations in heavy weather. The Furuno 1945 stands out as a powerhouse 6kW X-band radar with a 4-foot open array, paired with a vibrant 10.4-inch color LCD display. Its advanced signal processing cuts through clutter like sea state and rain, revealing small targets—buoys, debris, or distant vessels—with exceptional clarity from close quarters up to 64 nautical miles.
Boat captains rave about how this radar transforms foggy mornings or nighttime passages into confident voyages. Automatic gain, sea clutter, and rain suppression adjustments work seamlessly in the background, so you focus on what matters: staying safe and efficient.
Key Features That Set the Furuno 1945 Apart
- Bonded High-Contrast Display: The 10.4-inch portrait-oriented color LCD delivers 350 cd/m² brightness, ensuring readability even under direct sunlight or in pouring rain. No more squinting at washed-out screens.
- Precision Target Detection: Narrow 1.9-degree horizontal beam width pinpoints objects with sharp resolution, ideal for avoiding collisions in busy harbors or spotting schools of fish.
- Customizable Echo Colors: Choose yellow, green, orange, or multi-color echoes to differentiate targets quickly—land in green, ships in yellow, for intuitive interpretation.
- Full-Screen and Zoom Modes: Expand your view across the entire display or zoom into critical zones without losing situational awareness.
Advanced Tracking for Smarter Navigation
Stay ahead of traffic with robust AIS and ARPA integration. Track up to 100 AIS targets and 10 ARPA vectors simultaneously, overlaid right on your radar image. AIS pulls real-time data like vessel names, speeds, course over ground, and destinations via VHF—crucial when larger ships or landmasses block your line of sight.
The Off-Center function is a game-changer: shift your vessel's position on-screen to zoom in on ahead or specific sectors, perfect for entering narrow channels or monitoring fishing grounds without repositioning the boat.
Enhanced auto-tuning keeps the picture optimized as conditions change, reducing manual tweaks and operator fatigue during long shifts.
Seamless System Integration
Expand your onboard electronics effortlessly with NMEA 0183 connectivity. Link the Furuno 1945 to chartplotters, fishfinders, or multifunction displays for a unified command center. This modularity supports growing fleets, from weekend yachts to professional workboats, without compatibility headaches.

Why Boaters Choose the Furuno 1945 for Real-World Performance
Fishermen appreciate its short-range sensitivity for marking pots and wrecks, while cruisers value long-range scanning for early weather fronts. In low visibility, it outperforms basic radars by rejecting false echoes, saving fuel and stress. Proven durable in saltwater environments, it handles vibrations and corrosion like a pro—backing up Furuno's reputation for marine-grade reliability.
Frequently Asked Questions
1945 Radar
Furuno's 1945 Radar is a high contrast 10.4" color LCD radar designed for a wide range of vessels including pleasure craft, fishing boats and work boats. This new radar offers crystal clear target presentation with automatic Gain/Sea/Rain controls to deliver noise-free radar presentation. It features superb detection of even small targets both at short and long range. It also boasts all-new display modes which will assist you with navigating safely on all waters. The 1945 allows you to see far away objects before they are visible, and allows you to see in the dark, fog or during periods of obstructed visibility in any weather condition. With its advanced signal processing technology, the 1945 demonstrates a substantial increase in target detection, particularly for close range targets.
The 1945 can be interconnected with other navigation equipment such as chart plotters and sounders through Furuno's programmable NMEA 0183 interface system, affording operators the ability to expand their boat's system as needed.
AIS/ARPA Display:
Up to 100 AIS and 10 ARPA targets can be tracked and overlaid on the radar screen to assist the operator in monitoring other vessel movements. Since AIS works by VHF transceiver system, a variety of navigational information such as vessel name, speed, ROT, draft, and the destination of the selected targets can be included in real time. Unlike ARPA targets, AIS targets are visible on-screen even if they are obscured by large ships or islands.
Off-Center Mode:
With a push of the "OFF CENTER" button, own ship position can be shifted to a pre-registered point on the screen, allowing the operator to focus on a specific area ahead of or around the vessel without losing track of the position.
