Installed a new Furuno 1715 LCD 2.2KW RADAR today in about 4 hours although I still have to connect the interface cable to my Garmin GPS Plotter.The new unit is so small but the picture qualty is great and I hope to try it out and fine tune it this weekend. It's a little hard to see anything when you have nothing but other boats in front of your slip! My older unit sat on a block of teak on the upper deck which was fine as the unit was so big; this smaller cased unit with the same size screen looks tiny down there , I might end up mounting it on top of the dash just behind the windshield port side to mirror my GPS Plotter on top on the starboard side. My only concern is the light it will produce will lessen my ability to see small floating objects at night with the naked eye while underway. Any thoughts?
