Post Radar setup for mud-boat/outboard rigs
I’m looking at setting up a rig with radar for running fog. Wanna see some ideas that others have used in setting up their rigs

I don't recall ever seeing one on a mudboat, but completely doable. just get one of them gay redfish tower things and put a Furno radar on it.

usually I just idle along and run on gps in the fog, or sleep in and go shoot in the mid day.

Radar doesn't pick up fiberglass boats that well. Just be cautious when trusting it.

I've seen people put a radar dome on a bracket / pole mount. Good luck.

There was a boat on here recently I think made by timber creek that had a radar on the polling platform

I like the setup of your boat. Looks like a great delta or wax rig for sure

Add a small arch to the console.

Finally got it done. Worked great, picked up a lot but I also put ais transceiver on it too, travel safe on the river is the key.

The only true regret is not putting a tunnel on this hull. Next time that’ll be on the “to-do” list
