Here was my question: "I recently purchased the Fantom 18 radar, I will be installing it on a flat hardtop. My goal is to mount it at the lowest possible height because I trailer my boat. Here are my questions: (assuming a perfectly level and flat surface) 1. how far away from the dome radar will my hardtop cause interference? Is the beam a single point at center of the unit, and what is the beam width? 2. I wish to mount my radar aprox. 12"-16" from the front of my hardtop, flush, and the distance to the stern edge of the hardtop is 4'-10" maximum distance, assuming the radar's beam is -12.5 degrees at center of the unit... I know there will be blocked beam close to my boat but not so close it would stop me from doing this. So my second question is will this cause the performance of the entire unit to be degraded on the screen? thank you for your time, the more precise the better because I am going to model it in CAD so I know."
