Garmin GMR Fantom 12X Pedestal Only – Black

Description

Restore a compatible Garmin Fantom radar installation with the GMR Fantom 12X Pedestal in Black, a 120W solid-state drive unit made for separately selected 4-foot or 6-foot arrays. It suits owners replacing a pedestal while retaining the appropriate Fantom antenna and Garmin display network already onboard. Want moving-target highlighting and open-array flexibility without committing to a full radar package? This pedestal uses pulse-compression radar and MotionScope Doppler technology to drive a matched array and send radar data to a supported Garmin chartplotter.

Key Specifications

Compatibility

The Fantom 12X Pedestal does not include an antenna array, chartplotter, radar cable, power cable, mounting platform, GPS receiver, or heading sensor. Pair it with an approved Garmin Fantom 4-foot or 6-foot array, a supported Garmin MFD, and the required Garmin network and power connections to complete the radar system.

Array selection affects installed beamwidth and physical clearance. A 4-foot array is a practical choice where mounting space is limited, while a 6-foot array provides a narrower beam for more detailed bearing separation. MotionScope helps distinguish moving targets, but MARPA and radar overlay also depend on accurate heading and position data from compatible onboard sensors.

Installation Notes

Install the pedestal on a stable, level, structurally adequate radar platform. Plan for complete rotation clearance, especially when using a 6-foot antenna, and avoid placement near masts, rigging, communication antennas, lights, exhaust, or structures that can create radar shadow sectors.

Route power and network cables in protected paths away from heat, abrasion, moisture, high-current wiring, and moving machinery. Follow Garmin instructions for fusing, conductor sizing, grounding, mounting torque, safe operating distances, and radar alignment. Professional installation is recommended.

Before Ordering

Confirm array compatibility, MFD support, Garmin Marine Network or BlueNet requirements, supply voltage, available power capacity, cable lengths, platform strength, clearance, and sensor requirements before ordering.
