Mad Dog Voyager has a self-leveling (Gimbaled) radar mount

When a boat heels or rolls more than 10 to 15 degrees, a fixed radar system scans for submarines on one side and airplanes on the other. Under sail, or even under power, a boat is seldom less than this angle.

These radar leveling (Gimbaled) systems offer a unique solution to this problem. Our Raymarine radar leveling system is a hydraulic-dampened, self leveling mount that guarantees the Raymarine Raydome radar is level when we are heeling (eg when sailing).

We believe that this type of radar leveling system is a must on any boat. Because radar is needed in critical situations – detecting land mass or traffic while under way in heavy weather, in fog, or at night - it’s important to know that the view your radar gives you is as complete and accurate as possible to ensure a safe sailing experience. The radar leveling system requires no electricity or power.
