Simrad 10kW 4' Open Array Radar w/20M Cable

Unlock Crystal-Clear Visibility on the Water

Imagine navigating through thick fog or spotting distant vessels before they become a threat—all with remarkable precision. The Simrad 10kW 4-foot open array radar transforms your boating experience by delivering sharp, reliable images that cut through marine clutter. Powered by cutting-edge digital signal processing, it excels at picking out small targets like buoys or kayaks, even at extreme ranges, giving you the confidence to venture farther offshore.

Boat owners rave about how this radar reduces false echoes from rain or waves, providing a stable display that lets you focus on what matters: safe passage and adventure. Whether you're a weekend cruiser or a serious offshore angler, its high-resolution output means fewer second-guesses and more time enjoying the open water.

Superior Target Discrimination with HD Digital Technology

At the heart of this radar lies advanced HD digital processing, which uses sophisticated algorithms to sharpen images and minimize noise. Traditional radars often struggle with sea clutter or weather interference, but this system employs sensitivity time control to dynamically adjust gain based on distance. The result? Distant targets pop against the backdrop, while nearby distractions fade away.

With 10-bit digital sampling, you get nuanced shades and details that reveal nuances like bird flocks indicating baitfish or subtle changes in storm fronts. Mariners appreciate how it maintains performance in challenging conditions, from choppy seas to heavy downpours, ensuring your display remains interpretable no matter the weather.

Seamless Chart Overlay for Intuitive Navigation

Pair this radar with a compatible heading sensor, and unlock the power of chart overlay. Suddenly, radar echoes align perfectly with your electronic charts, letting you correlate real-time returns with coastlines, harbors, and aids to navigation. Spot a rock awash against a charted hazard instantly, or track approaching traffic relative to shipping lanes.

This feature shines during night passages or low-visibility scenarios, where combining radar and cartography reduces cognitive load. It's like having a seasoned navigator whispering in your ear, highlighting potential collisions or safe routes with effortless clarity.

Custom Color Palettes for Every Condition

Adapt the display to your eyes and environment with multiple color palettes, from high-contrast modes for daylight to softer tones for night watches. The radar intelligently enhances gradients on far-off echoes, making storm cells or large ships stand out vividly. Night owls and tournament fishermen love how it prevents eye strain during long hauls, keeping you alert and aware.

Pro tip: Experiment with palettes during setup to match your boat's lighting—many users find the white-hot option unbeatable for picking out weak signals in calm seas.

Guard Zones: Your Proactive Collision Shield

Set custom guard zones around your vessel, and let the radar do the vigilant work. Define areas forward, astern, or to the sides, and receive instant alerts for any intrusion—be it a rogue wave echo, drifting debris, or an unlit boat. Audio and visual alarms ensure you never miss a beat, even when below deck.

Customizable sensitivity lets you fine-tune for your cruising speed or fishing grounds, striking the perfect balance between awareness and avoiding nuisance alerts. It's a game-changer for solo sailors or crews running on minimal watch rotations.

Built for Real-World Boating Demands

The 4-foot open array design maximizes gain and resolution for larger vessels, offering extended detection horizons ideal for bluewater crossings or coastal patrols. The included 20-meter cable provides flexible mounting options, from radome arches to mast tops, without signal loss.

• High Power Output: 10kW peak power punches through weather for reliable long-range performance.
• Compact Yet Robust: Engineered for marine harshness, with corrosion-resistant materials that withstand salt spray and vibrations.
• Plug-and-Play Integration: Works smoothly with popular multifunction displays, enhancing your helm setup without complexity.
• Low Maintenance: Self-diagnostic tools help spot issues early, keeping you operational longer.

Fishermen use it to locate structure and wrecks miles away, while powerboaters rely on its clutter rejection for busy harbors. Its versatility makes it a staple for anyone serious about marine electronics.

Installation Insights and Pro Tips

Mounting an open array requires planning, but the rewards are immense. Position it high and forward for unobstructed 360-degree coverage, avoiding shadows from masts or stacks. The 20m cable reaches most installations, and straightforward connectors simplify wiring to your power source and display.

During commissioning, calibrate with a known target like a buoy to verify alignment. Regularly clean the array face to maintain peak reflectivity—salt buildup is the enemy. Pair it with AIS for ultimate situational awareness, overlaying tracked vessels on radar pips for unmatched safety.

Why Boaters Choose This Radar

It's not just about specs; it's proven reliability in the field. From Pacific crossings to Great Lakes squalls, this radar earns trust through consistent performance that saves time, fuel, and potentially lives. Upgrade your situational awareness and join thousands who navigate smarter, not harder.
