How much work is it to add radar on a small sailboat? Is there much wiring,
does the radar need much power, and about how much can this be done for? |

How much work is it to add radar on a small sailboat? Is there much wiring,
does the radar need much power, and about how much can this be done for? It depends of course. You can get an adequate radar for less than $2K, and they typically draw 10 to 15 amps when actually operating, much less in standby mode. Look on the manufacturers web site for the detailed specs. Professional installation can easily run another $2K, much less if you can do the work yourself. I self installed a relatively complex Furuno system on my trawler last year with about 15 hours of work and a $300 mast bracket. It does require some experience working with mechanical and electrical components however, and if you get into trouble, will probably do bad things to your warranty. |
