Detailed description

The PowerTower composite 350mm from Raymarine, manufactured by Scanstrut, is a mounting solution designed to optimize radar radome performance. It ensures stable installation and provides an unobstructed view of the horizon, essential for effective radar detection at sea.

Design and Compatibility

This PowerTower, standing 350mm (14 inches) tall, is constructed from composite materials, delivering a monocoque structure that combines strength and aerodynamics. It is compatible with Raymarine 2kW and 4kW radomes, as well as Garmin, Lowrance, and Simrad models, including 18-inch and 24-inch scanner radomes. Its base dimensions are 200 x 200mm (LxW), and its total width is 370mm. The 30° rearward sloping profile is suited to powerboat lines.

Installation and Waterproofing

Installation is simplified by pre-drilled mounting holes, allowing direct attachment of the antenna to the PowerTower’s top plate using the radar’s mounting bolts. For enhanced waterproofing, it features a pre-installed IP65 cable gland and a sealed base gasket, eliminating the need for sealant. The hollow shaft enables internal cable routing for a clean, discreet installation. Assembly requires 4 M8 bolts.

Performance Optimization

Designed for installation on a powerboat’s cabin roof, flybridge, or radar arch, this mount elevates the radome, ensuring a clear line of sight to the horizon. This optimal position is critical for maximizing radar range and antenna accuracy in marine environments. Its robust construction is suited to demanding marine conditions.

Expert opinion

« Radar optimization: the composite PowerTower for uncompromising detection »

The Raymarine 350mm composite PowerTower, a Scanstrut product, is a strategic solution for integrating radar systems on powerboats. Its primary function is to elevate the radome antenna to a height that minimizes potential obstructions from the boat's superstructure, ensuring optimal 360-degree radar coverage. This elevation is critical for long-range detection and precise target mapping, particularly in complex environments.

From an installation standpoint, the design prioritizes simplicity and reliability. Pre-drilled mounting holes are a significant advantage, reducing installation time and the risk of errors. The integrated IP65 gland and watertight base gasket eliminate the need for sealant applications, which are often a source of long-term leaks and an unsightly finish. The ability to route cables inside the mast not only enhances aesthetics but also protects connections from marine elements. Its multi-brand compatibility (Raymarine, Garmin, Lowrance, Simrad) makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of deck configurations.

While versatile, it is important to note that this 350mm model is specifically tilted 30° rearward. This tilt is ideal for powerboats where the bow tends to rise at high speeds, keeping the radar antenna parallel to the water surface. For applications on sailboats or powerboats with different trim angles, other PowerTower models with varied tilts or no tilt would be more appropriate to ensure optimal radar performance.
