Garmin GMR Fantom 24 Reman
Garmin GMR Fantom 24 Reman — Product description
Enhance Your Boating Safety with Cutting-Edge Doppler Radar Technology
Imagine navigating through dense fog or spotting a distant storm before it disrupts your voyage. The Garmin GMR Fantom 24 remanufactured dome radar turns these scenarios into confident cruises. This 24-inch solid-state unit packs 40W of power into a compact design, delivering crystal-clear images from just 20 feet out to an impressive 48 nautical miles. Mariners trust its reliability for everything from weekend fishing trips to extended offshore adventures, thanks to its remanufactured quality that matches new-unit performance at a fraction of the hassle.
What sets it apart? MotionScope technology harnesses the Doppler effect—think of it like a sonic speed gun for boats—to color-code moving targets. Red for incoming threats, green for receding ones. This isn't just data; it's actionable intel that helps you dodge collisions, chase bird flocks signaling baitfish, or skirt heavy weather cells with ease.
Pulse Compression: Sharper Images, Smarter Detection
Traditional radars often blur the line between targets, but Pulse Compression changes the game. It squeezes maximum energy into precise pulses, boosting resolution without spiking power draw. The result? Exceptional separation of vessels, buoys, and shorelines, even in cluttered waters. Adjust Target Size on the fly to declutter your display, focusing on what matters most during high-stakes maneuvers.
Boaters report seeing small craft at distances others miss, making it a game-changer for busy harbors or open-sea passages. Dual rotation speeds—24 rpm for power savings or 48 rpm for rapid updates—adapt to your needs, ensuring smooth overlays on compatible chartplotters.
Real-World Performance That Boaters Rave About
In rainy downpours or thick mist, this radar shines with a narrow 3.7° horizontal beamwidth and high antenna gain. It paints accurate shoreline maps, tracks erratic bird formations for prime fishing spots, and supports MARPA for automated collision avoidance (pair it with a heading sensor for best results). Echo trails let you visualize target paths, while guard zones trigger alarms for peace of mind when you're below deck.
Low 3W standby draw means it sips power from your 10-32V DC system, and instant-on eliminates warm-up waits. Dual radar support? Stack it with another for 360° coverage. Auto Bird Gain filters out noise, zeroing in on feeding frenzies without manual tweaks.
- Spot flocks from afar to locate underwater structure.
- Navigate congested anchorages with superior target ID.
- Monitor weather evolution in real-time for safer routing.
Effortless Setup and Everyday Reliability
Installation is straightforward—no PhD required. Mount it high for optimal scanning, connect the 15m power and network cables, and you're overlaying radar data on your charts in minutes. No Transmit Zones keep it quiet during crew time, and Timed Transmit extends battery life on day sails.
Remanufactured to Garmin's rigorous standards, it delivers like-new performance with proven durability. Saltwater tough, with 8-bit color for nuanced shading that distinguishes big ships from debris.

Complete Kit for Quick Deployment
Everything you need arrives ready to go: the remanufactured radome, mounting hardware, 15m power cable, 15m network cable, instructions, and template. Bolt it on, wire it up, and elevate your situational awareness instantly.
Pro Tips for Peak Performance
Mount at least 8-10 feet above waterline to minimize clutter from waves. Calibrate with a heading sensor for MARPA magic. In bird-hunting mode, tweak gain post-sunset for nocturnal feeders. Regular lens wipes keep returns sharp—salt buildup is the silent killer of radar clarity.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes MotionScope technology stand out on the Garmin GMR Fantom 24?
MotionScope uses Doppler shift to color moving targets—red for approaching, green for departing—helping with collision avoidance, bird spotting, and weather tracking.
Is the remanufactured version as reliable as new?
Yes, it's rebuilt to Garmin's exact specs, undergoing rigorous testing for performance matching brand-new units.
What's the ideal mounting height for best results?
Aim for 8-12 feet above the waterline to reduce sea clutter and maximize long-range detection.
Does it work with all Garmin chartplotters?
It integrates seamlessly with select Garmin multifunction displays via the network cable for overlay and control.
How does it handle rain or fog?
Pulse Compression and high-resolution imaging cut through precipitation, maintaining clear target separation up to 48 nm.
Can I use it for fishing?
Absolutely—Auto Bird Gain highlights flocks over bait balls, guiding you to hot spots effortlessly.
What's the power draw like for battery boats?
Ultra-low 3W standby and efficient transmit modes make it perfect for extended trips without draining reserves.
Garmin GMR™ Fantom 24 remanufactured 24-inch Dome Radar with MotionScope™ Technology
Model: 010-N1707-00- 24-inch, 40 W solid-state, dome radar
- MotionScope™ technology uses the Doppler effect to detect and highlight targets moving toward you or away in different colors to help avoid collisions, find flocks of birds, and track weather
- Pulse Compression technology provides high resolution while maximizing energy, to enhance detection and identification of targets
- Target Size allows you to adjust the size of objects on the radar image
- 20 foot to 48 nautical mile detection range
The 24-inch, 40 W solid-state Garmin GMR Fantom 24 dome radar features MotionScope technology, which uses the Doppler effect to detect and highlight moving targets to help you avoid potential collisions. Fully integrates with select Garmin chartplotters.
You get excellent close- and long-range target detection ranging from as close as 20 feet to 48 nautical miles, even in fog or rain. Its 3.7 degree horizontal beamwidth provides a high resolution image and high antenna gain so it can pick out targets at a distance. The result is this radar paints a clear, concise image of the shoreline, other vessels and impending weather — right on your Garmin chartplotter. You get consistent target positions, excellent target separation and reliable operation. Its 8-bit true color imagery also helps you discriminate large targets from small ones and enhances target separation. Radar data is overlaid onto charts (autopilot or heading sensor recommended). Low power consumption, instant turn on and no delay from warming up as with magnetron radars. Rotation speeds of 24 for reduced power consumption and 48 rpm to provide fast screen updates.
GMR Fantom radars use the Doppler effect to detect and highlight moving targets to help you avoid potential collisions, find flocks of birds and track weather formations. The Doppler effect is the frequency shift in the radar echo due to the relative motion of the target. This allows for instant detection of any targets moving toward or away from the radar. MotionScope highlights the moving targets in different colors on the radar display so you can navigate around other boats or severe weather, or toward fishing spots where birds are feeding at the surface.
All Garmin radars are designed to be easy to install and easy to use. There are no complex user settings to adjust; just install your radar and start using it. You can rely on the GMR Fantom radar to provide reliable, optimum performance in all conditions. Because, it’s your time.
