Radar Tech OCMD

[Dead Eye]

I just replaced my Raydome on my boat. Furuno 1712 radar. I need a tech to calibrate the radar now. Anyone on this board know how to set it up? Boat is on the lift right now.
Thanks, John

I will second Drew with Midshore.

I currently use Martek, and they are good as well.

I guess Drew no longer works for Martek?

Hey John - you could call Martek, too, they also do a good job but all of these techs will be expensive. If you want to give it a shot yourself first, here's the drill:
Head directly for a solid target, such as a buoy. Should that object’s target reflection appear to be off to port or starboard instead of dead ahead, a heading adjustment is required. Note the degree difference, and follow the correction adjustment in your owner's manual. (It's usually pretty simple.)
Then, steer right down the middle of the channel. Look at the sides of the channel as shown by the marker returns on your display; if they tend to bow inward or outward, then you need to set the timing adjustment. Again, this is usually a fairly simple operation described in the manual. Good luck!

Thanks for the tip Lenny. I'll look thru the manual,

I wonder if there is a tech who could use a few bucks on the side to do the job .
