OPEN-ARRAY Radar with Incredible Power
This open-array radar highlights moving targets in color and gives you excellent close- and long-range target detection — even in fog or rain.
Know what’s coming. MotionScope™ technology shows targets in color as they move toward you or away.
GMR Fantom brings the power. 120 watts of it, actually.
Get high resolution without wasting energy, thanks to pulse compression.
Add even more detail to your maps with radar overlay — even in a split-screen view.

HIGH-POWERED Radar
This 120-watt solid-state radar has a range from 20’ to 96 nautical miles, even in fog or rain. It offers rotation speeds of 24 RPM for reduced power consumption and 48 RPM for fast screen updates.
HIGH-RESOLUTION Radar
The 1.8-degree horizontal beamwidth provides a high-resolution image and high antenna gain to pick out even weak targets at a distance.
Motionscope Technology
MotionScope uses the Doppler effect to detect moving targets and highlight them in different colors so you can navigate around other boats or severe weather — or toward fishing spots where birds feed at the surface.
Intuitive Operation
This radar doesn’t have any complex user settings to deal with, so it’s easy to install and start using.
See incredible detail on the water.
Target Size
Adjust the size of objects on the radar image.
Auto Bird Gain
Locate flocks of birds at the water’s surface where baitfish are also likely to be found.
Echo Trails
A historical “trail” is left on the screen to help you quickly and easily identify moving targets and potential collision threats.
Dual Range
Single radar antenna is capable of providing split-screen images on your chartplotter for both close and long range.
DUAL-RADAR Support
Using dual radar provides redundancy and allows each display unit on the boat to pull data from one of two different radar sources.
Dynamic Auto Gain
Gain automatically adjusts levels to optimum settings for harbors, near shore and offshore in open waters.
Dynamic Sea Filter
Gain automatically adjusts sea clutter for calm, medium and rough sea conditions.
Radar Overlay
Overlay radar images onto your chartplotter’s map page. You can add an optional autopilot or heading sensor (sold separately) for best results.
Marpa Target Tracking
Mini-automatic radar plotting aid (MARPA) tracks up to 30 selected targets, helping you keep track of other vessels and avoid collisions.
Guard Zone
Set the safety zone, and receive an alarm when an object enters the zone.
Vrm and Ebl
Variable range markers (VRM) and electronic bearing lines (EBL) allow rapid measurements of distance and bearing to vessels and land.

FAQs
Installation by a qualified marine installer is recommended. Opening the device can cause injury and void the warranty. Do not look directly at the antenna at close range when transmitting.
All radar functions are controlled from your Garmin chartplotter. The radar requires the chartplotter’s software to be updated.
Drill a hole up to 32 mm for routing cables. After installation, ensure waterproofing by applying marine sealant to the hole or optional grommet.
Use the included template to drill mounting holes. For wiring, drill a hole up to 32 mm in diameter for cable routing and seal with marine sealant for waterproofing.
Connect a 12 AWG copper wire from the pedestal to a water ground, not the battery negative. Cover all ground connections with marine sealant.
Yes, you can connect directly if the radar was not packaged with a voltage converter. Always retain the in-line 15A fuse.
Insert primed threaded rods through the surface and radar base, then tighten hex nuts to 14.7 N-m (11 lbf-ft.) without damaging hardware.
The power cable incorporates a 15A fuse which must remain in place; if using a voltage converter, also include the 30A fuse between the converter and battery.
The antenna is slid onto the pedestal by aligning the waveguide, then secured using captive hex bolts. Tighten these bolts to 7.9 N-m (6 lbf-ft.) torque.
Mount the radar high above the keel, on a flat surface parallel to the water line, away from heat sources, and away from obstructions.
