FEATURES 

Reduce mast weight

Mounting the radar on a pole instead of the mast helps lower the vessel’s center of gravity, reduces mast weight, avoids sail chafe, and provides options to install additional equipment like lights or a crane on the pole.

Hydraulic damping

The levelling unit incorporates a fine-tuned hydraulic damping system that automatically adjusts to changes in the boat’s heel angle. It operates without power and requires no maintenance, ensuring reliable, long-term performance.

Bespoke mounting pole

The 2.5m (8.3’) SC100 pole features a unique extrusion design with two integrated cable channels and a cover strip to keep cables secure and out of sight, providing a clean, professional installation.

360° adjustable base

The anodized aluminium base allows full 360° adjustment, making it suitable for installation on both sloping transoms and flat decks. This flexibility ensures the pole can be securely mounted regardless of deck angles.

Secure installation

The LMP-1 comes with two support modules— a 1200 mm deck strut (standard) and a 25 mm rail stand-off— providing maximum fore/aft and sideways stability. Optional strut lengths (600 mm, 900 mm, and 1800 mm) are available to accommodate various installation needs.

Removable

For racing or off-season storage, the pole can be easily removed by unscrewing the base, leaving only a low-profile base plate on the deck.
