Can someone tell me why the radar unit on some Blackman Billfishers is mounted on a radar arch above (slightly behind) the flybridge while on others it is mounted on the front of the flybridge?
Thanks!

If you don't have a fold down arch, you would need to put it up front since it would be too tall on the arch and get knocked off on a low bridge while trailering. Some guys preferred it upfront since it was hard to get the right angle on the arch mounted unit while underway to get a good horizion shot. Mine is up front and if I had the choice I would rather have it arch mounted. in big swells I get alot of false readings. And my nuts are now sterile.

Thanks for the explanation.
The adjustable arch is more expensive. I don't know but I wonder if people can comment on the shaking while driving when the arch is resting on the tank. I have the front mount and the only issue is that you have 270 view instead of 360. I haven't been interested in what is behind but maybe it's important.
Don't blame the radar for the nuts otherwise you would have sterile brains.

Is that why I get Headaches in the fog?
Just my two cents
Because we are not the fastest boat in the water I like knowing when a boat is overtaking me in the middle of the night. It happens alot in the summer some of these Parker guys run at 30 knot and cant see anything in front of them from inside that cabin.
Just my point of view
And thats not what happened to your nuts Jeff
That fog you see is weard we never see it at the same time you do
