Furuno Radar & Satcom Mounts & Accessories

Furuno Radar & Satcom Mounts & Accessories: Built for the Demands of the Open Water

When you invest in a Furuno radar or satellite communications system, protecting and positioning that investment correctly is just as important as the electronics themselves. Furuno's lineup of Radar & Satcom Mounts & Accessories is purpose-built to complement the brand's world-class marine electronics — ensuring that every dome, open-array antenna, and satellite compass is secured, aligned, and operating at peak performance.

Furuno has spent over seven decades earning its reputation as the marine electronics industry's gold standard. For more than 40 years, Furuno Radars have consistently won the prestigious NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association) award for Best Radar. That heritage of excellence extends directly into their accessory ecosystem — because a radar system is only as reliable as the hardware supporting it.

Why Proper Mounting Matters for Furuno Systems

Furuno manufactures an exceptionally broad range of radar units. Whether you are looking for a compact 2.2kW unit or a commercial grade 50kW radar, Furuno is the single largest source of radars you can rely on. That diversity in hardware means mounting and accessory solutions must be equally varied — from compact dome brackets for recreational cruisers to heavy-duty pedestal assemblies for commercial vessels. Furuno's genuine accessories are engineered with the same commercial-grade philosophy as the radars themselves.

Furuno was born and bred in the commercial market, proudly designing, engineering, and producing products that are meant to take a beating from the harshest marine environments and still operate reliably every time, using solid, commercial-grade components. That same ethos applies to their mounts and installation accessories — these aren't afterthoughts, but integral parts of a fully integrated navigation system.

Furuno-Specific Accessories for Radar & Satcom

Furuno's radar and satellite compass product lines each carry their own specific mounting requirements. For example, Furuno offers a dedicated pole mount for the SCX20 and SCX21 Satellite Compass, ensuring the compass is positioned optimally for accurate heading data. Furuno's DRS-series radars — including the solid-state DRS-NXT Doppler units — require matched signal and power cabling along with compatible mounting hardware to maintain full system integrity and warranty coverage.

When pedestal-mounting the standard FAR-series display units, Furuno specifies the use of optional display mounting kits that include dedicated brackets and mounting assemblies — reinforcing that factory-matched accessories are critical to proper installation. Furuno's 2kW and 4kW radars, spanning 15", 18", 19", and 24" domes as well as 3.5' and 4' open arrays, each have their own compatible mounting plate specifications.

Integration with Furuno's NavNet Ecosystem

Furuno's accessories are designed to support seamless integration within the broader NavNet TZtouch ecosystem. The DRS-NXT Solid-State Radar features Doppler technology with Target Analyzer and Fast Target Tracking, and properly matched mounts keep the antenna stable enough for those precision Doppler readings to remain accurate. Improper or mismatched mounting hardware can introduce vibration and misalignment that degrades radar performance — a risk no serious mariner should accept.
