Raymarine Radar
Raymarine Marine Radar Systems Australia
Marine radar is one of the most valuable safety and navigation tools you can add to your boat. Whether you’re running offshore before sunrise, navigating through fog or watching for traffic on the way home, radar gives you the ability to see what’s happening around your vessel when visibility is limited.
At Shotgun Marine, we supply and install Raymarine radar systems for recreational and commercial boats across Australia. From compact radome radar for trailer boats through to high-performance open array radar for offshore game boats, we help design systems that integrate properly with your chartplotters and onboard electronics.
Raymarine radar systems give boat owners reliable situational awareness when navigating offshore, running home at night or working through fog and rain. From compact Quantum CHIRP radome radar to powerful Magnum open array radar systems, Raymarine offers radar solutions suited to trailer boats, offshore fishing vessels at Shotgun Marine, we supply and install Raymarine radar systems from our Port Macquarie workshop. Our team complete electronics packages that integrate radar, chartplotters, sonar and autopilot systems so everything works together correctly on the water.
Raymarine Quantum Radar
The Raymarine Quantum 2 Doppler radar is one of the most popular radar systems for modern trailer boats and cruisers. Using CHIRP pulse compression radar technology, Quantum delivers excellent target separation at both short and long ranges while remaining lightweight and energy efficient.
Quantum 2 also features Doppler collision avoidance technology which highlights moving targets and colour codes them to indicate whether they are approaching or moving away from your vessel. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
This makes it much easier to identify traffic and potential hazards when navigating in busy waterways or poor weather conditions.
Raymarine Open Array Radar
For larger vessels and serious offshore fishing boats, open array radar provides longer detection range and sharper target definition. Systems like the Raymarine Magnum open array radar are designed for high-performance offshore use and deliver exceptional target separation and long-range detection.
Open array radar systems are commonly installed on sportfishing vessels, commercial boats and larger cruisers where maximum radar performance is required.
Professional Radar Installation
Radar systems perform best when they are installed and configured correctly. At Shotgun Marine we specialise in professional marine electronics installation including radar mounting, alignment, network integration and system commissioning.
Radar is typically integrated with your chartplotter system so targets can be overlaid directly onto navigation charts. Raymarine radar systems integrate seamlessly with Axiom chartplotters to provide a complete navigation and situational awareness system.
Need Help Choosing the Right Radar?
Every boat is different and the best radar system depends on your vessel size, mounting location and how you use the boat offshore.
If you’re planning a radar upgrade or building a new electronics package, our team can help design the right setup for your boat.

Raymarine radar systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with modern Raymarine Axiom 2 Pro, Axiom+ and other Raymarine Axiom chartplotters. When networked together, radar targets can be overlaid directly onto your navigation charts, giving skippers a much clearer picture of surrounding vessels, land and weather when visibility drops offshore.
Many boat owners installing radar today choose to pair it with a Raymarine Axiom 2 Pro chartplotter. The Axiom 2 Pro HybridTouch system provides fast processing and full integration with Raymarine Quantum and open array radar systems, allowing radar targets to be displayed directly on the chart screen. For offshore fishing boats and cruisers, combining radar with an Axiom 2 Pro display creates a powerful navigation setup that improves situational awareness, particularly when travelling early morning, at night or in reduced visibility offshore.
At Shotgun Marine we regularly install complete Raymarine electronics packages, combining radar, chartplotters, sonar and autopilot into a fully integrated marine navigation system.
Raymarine Radar Options
Raymarine Quantum CHIRP Radar
Raymarine Quantum radar is a compact solid-state radar using CHIRP pulse compression technology for excellent short-range detection and clear radar imaging. It is ideal for trailer boats, cruisers and offshore fishing boats where low power consumption and lightweight installation are important.
Raymarine Magnum Open Array Radar
Raymarine Magnum open array radar systems are designed for serious offshore vessels and commercial boats. Available in 4kW and 12kW models with 4-foot or 6-foot antennas, Magnum radar provides long-range detection up to 96 nautical miles and excellent target separation.
Raymarine Radar Installation Australia
Correct radar installation is essential for accurate target detection. Scanner height, heading sensor integration and network configuration all affect radar performance.
Shotgun Marine specialises in professional Raymarine radar installation including radar mounting, RayNet networking and integration with Raymarine Axiom chartplotters. Our Port Macquarie workshop installs marine electronics systems for boat owners across NSW and Australia.
