Furuno 1715 Marine Radar

Overview Furuno 1715 Marine Radar

Furuno 1715 Marine Radar is a compact standalone radar designed for pleasure craft and small fishing boats that need dependable target awareness in a modest installation size. Its 7-inch Silver Bright LCD, 18-inch radome, and 24 nautical mile range give operators a practical radar picture for nearshore work and coastal passages.

The source data also notes Watchman mode, which is useful for conserving power during longer transits or drift periods while still maintaining periodic radar monitoring. That makes the 1715 a sensible choice for smaller vessels where radar performance and electrical efficiency both matter.

Key Features

• 2.2 kW radar system: Provides reliable target detection for coastal navigation and close-quarters traffic awareness.
• 7-inch Silver Bright LCD: Keeps the radar presentation readable in daylight helm conditions.
• 18-inch radome antenna: Offers a compact antenna size for smaller vessel installations.
• 24 nautical mile range: Extends awareness beyond near-harbor operation for broader coastal use.
• Watchman mode: Helps reduce power consumption during extended monitoring periods.

Applications

• Pleasure craft running coastal routes where compact radar improves navigation confidence.
• Small fishing boats operating in early morning, fog, or reduced-visibility conditions.
• Owners seeking a dedicated radar without moving to a larger networked helm system.
