I’m going to be putting a dome radar on my 218 though I’m trying to figure out two issues. 1) radar mount hardware 2) canvas impact and replacement
Anyone does a dome radar on this boat and can share their solution?
Thanks in advance
Will

Wedge and on top of canvas. That's what I have.
You could also look into a stand that raises the dome off the top more.

Think it's a 5 degree wedge

I have a Simrad 4g on a 4 or 5inch angled Seascan mount.
I had the same radar mounted with a wedge and raising it up on the mount did noticeably improve close target reception since the top blocks less of the signal...but then I also had to rework my anchor light to be taller than the radar, so a bit more pain to install.

I had radar on my 218, used a piece of starboard on top with no wedge and did great, stainless bolts for the hardware.
