Frequently Asked Questions

Does the LMB-F1 require electrical power to operate?

No, the LMB-F1 is a completely passive system using hydraulic damping technology. It requires no electrical power and is entirely maintenance-free.

What radar power ratings are compatible with this mount?

The LMB-F1 is designed for 2kW and 4kW radar domes from Raymarine, Garmin, and B&G. It accommodates the weight and wind load of these professional radar systems.

Can I install this mount on boats with adjustable backstays?

Yes, the LMB-F1 is compatible with adjustable backstays. The nylon bushings allow cable tension adjustment without removing the mount, and the system accommodates backstay adjusters up to 60mm diameter.

How does the self-leveling system work in rough seas?

The fine-tuned hydraulic damping system responds to major heel angle changes while filtering out minor oscillations and vibrations. This ensures your radar remains level for optimal performance even in challenging sea conditions.

Can the mount height be customized?

Yes, while the standard kit provides 2.6m height, additional 0.6m and 1.3m extension sections are available separately to achieve optimal radar placement height for your specific vessel.
