kmcfla Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 I have a 2600 TRS on order with a second station and debating adding the Simard Halo radar. Boat will be docked well inshore so I’ll have an hour run in the dark to get to the inlet at a decent time. Has anyone added a radar to a second station pathfinder/have photos you could share? I’m a little concerned it will look really strange with a mount to raise the height above the second station backrest I’d would love to have the radar though not typical for a bay boat but don’t want it to look off either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamaskeet Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 I suggest you do some research regarding how close you can be to the radar while operating the boat without having any health concerns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Short of building an arch, I have seen fabs where the dome was mounted on the hard deck ahead of your feet. As stated above, you can’t be in the upper station when it’s radiating.. or standing on the gunwales.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin-addict Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 I have a used radar that I have been thinking about mounting on my soft top stand thru t top with second station. As stated you cannot use second station while Radar is on. Seen many bays with radar. Look up action welding has one I like. Do not need a arch. Can be built onto the upper back rest. If you have a hard top mount directly to that with a mount ht just above backrest. Been doing a lot of research on this. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmcfla Posted June 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Thanks all. I am aware of staying out of the radars path when it’s on. Fun addict I contacted action welding for the photo and some pricing. Appreciate the lead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question, does the backrest and sidebars slide forward. Looks far back from the seat cushion in the photo. Also appears the rod holder cannot be used due to radar dome. Love to see closer photos.

MidnightBlue2600TRS Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Thanks! Roof slides back and becomes the seat for the stand-through. Two rear facing rod holders on top do have enough room even with the radar placement…. I don’t use them much though as they are a bit out of the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
