Scanstrut Tapered Radar Mast – for Radomes & Marine Cameras

Description

Consolidate radar, camera, antennas, lights, and other marine electronics on one elevated structure with the Scanstrut Tapered Radar Mast. The mast provides a streamlined option for powerboats that need to raise a compatible 18-inch or 24-inch radome while retaining mounting positions for cameras, GPS/VHF antennas, lights, or satellite equipment. Need a cleaner installation than multiple separate brackets? The Tapered Mast uses a compact base, pre-drilled radar mounting holes, and removable wings for adaptable marine-electronics layouts.

Key Specifications

• Scanstrut Tapered Radar Mast for compatible radomes and marine cameras.
• All-in-one mast for radar, cameras, lights, GPS/VHF antennas, and selected satellite-communications equipment.
• Designed for compatible 18-inch and 24-inch radomes from Garmin, Lowrance, Raymarine, Simrad, and Furuno.
• Supports selected camera-mount accessories for marine camera integration.
• Marine-grade aluminum construction with corrosion-resistant finish.
• Pre-drilled mounting holes for compatible radar installations.
• Small base footprint with removable wings to simplify shipping and installation.
• Available in different configurations and heights; total weight and dimensions depend on the selected mast model.

Compatibility

This mast is a structural mounting accessory and does not include a radar scanner, camera, GPS/VHF antenna, navigation light, satellite antenna, cables, or display. Verify the exact Tapered Mast model against the selected radar, camera accessory, vessel roof structure, mounting-hole pattern, antenna load, wind loading, and cable-routing requirements before ordering.

Scanstrut describes the Tapered Mast as an all-in-one platform for radar, lights, GPS/VHF antennas, cameras, and searchlights, with compatibility for current 18-inch and 24-inch radomes from Garmin, Lowrance, Raymarine, Simrad, and Furuno. [890] Any installed scanner and camera must retain manufacturer-specified safe distances and unobstructed operating clearance.

Installation Notes

Install the mast on a reinforced, level deck or hardtop structure capable of supporting the combined weight, wind load, vibration, and rotational force of all mounted electronics. Keep radar scanners clear of people and camera equipment, and prevent antennas, lights, camera brackets, or cables from entering the radar sweep or camera field of view.

Route cables internally or through protected conduits where possible, using suitable cable glands, strain relief, and drip loops. Use marine-grade fasteners, sealing compounds appropriate for the mounting surface, and galvanic isolation between dissimilar metals where required. A qualified marine-electronics installer should verify structural suitability and complete radar alignment.

Before Ordering

Confirm the exact Scanstrut mast model, compatible radome size, camera-mount accessory, total equipment load, hardtop or deck reinforcement, radar and camera clearances, antenna positions, cable-routing plan, wind-load requirements, and corrosion-protection hardware before ordering.
