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

Re: Radar setup for mud-boat/outboard 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.

Re: Radar setup for mud-boat/outboard rigs
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.

Re: Radar setup for mud-boat/outboard rigs
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.

Re: Radar setup for mud-boat/outboard rigs
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.

Re: Radar setup for mud-boat/outboard rigs
The only true regret is not putting a tunnel on this hull. Next time that’ll be on the “to-do” list
