Shane at Divine replaced the Fusion stereo and speakers on my boat. He did an incredible job guiding me to the right solution and then doing the install. He was mobile so the experience was quite convenient and the workmanship was of the highest quality. In addition, he gave me recommendations to other service providers to do repairs on my boat. My experience was terrific and I highly recommend Shane and Divine.

Shane was great! Very knowledgeable about audio and electronics, great suggestions for products. Best of all, he picked up my boat and returned it the very next day with all new sound system! Really happy with the update so far!

Shane is wonderful to work with. He put a much needed upgraded sound system on my yacht in Lake Union and some other nice gadgets. Beautiful workmanship.

Marine Radar Seattle

Radar That Actually Works In Puget Sound Conditions

Radar is the single most important safety instrument on a boat that runs in Puget Sound fog, and it is also the most commonly misinstalled. A scanner mounted at the wrong height, aimed a few degrees off, or sharing a noisy power feed will paint a screen full of clutter exactly when you need it to see a ferry in the shipping lanes.

We install and tune solid state radomes and open array systems from Garmin, Raymarine, Furuno and Simrad. Every install starts with mounting geometry: scanner height, blind sectors from masts and arches, and a clean look ahead of the bow. From there we run proper cable, land it on a clean fused feed, and network it to your multifunction displays so every helm station sees the same picture.

Commissioning is where most installs fall short. We sea trial every radar: heading alignment, gain and sea clutter tuning for local conditions, rain clutter presets, guard zones, MARPA target tracking and overlay on the chart. You get a system that is set up for the water you actually run, not factory defaults.

Capabilities

What We Do

Thermal, low light and engine room cameras, installed and networked as one system.

Solid State Radomes

Compact doppler radomes like Garmin GMR Fantom and Raymarine Quantum with instant on, low draw and target motion tracking.

Open Array Radar

High power open arrays for offshore and commercial work, with correct pedestal, mast or arch mounting and leveling.

Mounting & Alignment

Radar arches, mast mounts, wedges and leveling shims so the beam sits flat at cruise attitude, not just at the dock.

Chart Overlay & MARPA

Radar overlaid on cartography with automatic target tracking so crossing situations are obvious at a glance.

Clutter & Gain Tuning

Sea, rain and gain presets tuned for Pacific Northwest fog banks, chop and drizzle instead of open ocean defaults.

Multi Station Networking

Radar shared over marine ethernet to every MFD on the boat, helm, flybridge and cockpit.

How It Goes

The Process

Four steps from the first look at your boat to a night test on the water.

Site Survey

We measure mounting options, check blind sectors and plan the cable path before anything is ordered.

Mount & Cable

Scanner mounted level with proper backing and bedding, cable run with chafe protection and service loops.

Network & Power

Clean fused power, ethernet or analog integration, and NMEA 2000 heading data so overlay and MARPA work.

Sea Trial Tuning

Heading alignment, gain, clutter and guard zones tuned under way in real conditions, then an owner walkthrough.

Every Radar Install Includes

Mounting geometry checked for blind sectors and beam level
Heading sensor data verified for accurate overlay and MARPA
Gain, sea and rain clutter presets tuned for local conditions
Guard zones and alarm settings configured and documented
Full owner walkthrough at the helm before we leave

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Radome or open array, which do I need?

For most Puget Sound cruising boats under 45 feet a solid state radome is the right call: instant on, low power draw and excellent short range target separation. Open arrays earn their keep on larger vessels, offshore runs and commercial work where long range and beam sharpness matter.

Can new radar work with my existing chartplotter?

Usually radar stays within one brand ecosystem. If your MFDs are Garmin, we spec Garmin radar. Mixing brands rarely works for radar video, so we confirm compatibility before anything is ordered.

Does radar need a heading sensor?

For chart overlay and MARPA target tracking, yes. A dedicated heading sensor like a satellite compass gives stable, accurate heading that a fluxgate or autopilot compass often cannot match.

How long does an install take?

A straightforward radome swap on an existing mount is often a single day. New arches, mast work or multi station networking runs longer. You get a fixed quote after the on site survey.
