Thanks. And that particular display example is very illustrative.

Just to clarify, that’s just a shot of a bridge that loomed up out of the fog on the Illinois one morning. Wish I’d taken some shots of the Furuno display. We saw it very clearly on radar, of course, but would have had to stop without it.

Ah. Got it, thanks for clarification.

Radar

I have no idea how many hours my FURUNO RADAR has. It's a four foot open array unit, twenty years old. Engine hr 5800. We turn the RADAR unit on when leavinvg port. Will turn off when arriving next port. We learned the vommercial people leave their RADAR units on all the time. This unit has to accumulated thousands of hours. Works wonderfully.

...Most importantly, you look cooler with a large open array going around.

That is true. I was at a dinner party a few weeks ago and somebody asked me if my boat was big enough to have one of those "spinny-twirly things" on top. Why yes, we do have radar - although I didn't mention it's a closed array. Wonder if I can remove the cover so people can see the twirly thing spin, that would look cooler.
