The Furuno 1815 is a standalone radar system featuring an 8.4-inch color LCD display and a compact 4kW radome antenna, designed for pleasure craft, workboats, and small fishing vessels. This true color radar delivers professional performance at an accessible price point, with adjustable display colors for optimal viewing in varying light conditions. The gimbal-mounted display swivels for desktop installation, or can be flush-mounted with a simple 5-inch hole saw. The display carries an IPX6 waterproof rating for reliable operation in marine environments.
Advanced Target Tracking and Navigation
Furuno's Fast Target Tracking technology allows manual or automatic tracking of up to 10 targets, displaying speed and course vectors within seconds to quickly assess approaching vessels. The proprietary True Trail mode shows gradational target trails behind moving objects, enabling at-a-glance assessment of target movement. When connected to a Furuno AIS receiver, the system displays and tracks up to 100 AIS-equipped vessels with detailed information including speed, heading, and vessel identification.
Superior Clarity and Display Modes
True View mode maintains consistent echo display during turns, keeping targets visible on screen without waiting for updates—particularly valuable when maneuvering to avoid hazards. Advanced automatic gain reduction algorithms, refined over decades of Furuno innovation, eliminate sea clutter and rain interference without user input, ensuring clear target acquisition in both calm and severe weather conditions. Additional display modes include Off Center positioning and 2x Zoom expansion for detailed target examination.
