Furuno Radar 1621 and RSB-0060 antenna.

$500 OBO or Trade

The Furuno Model 1621 is a compact LCD Radar for smaller craft. It consists of a display unit, antenna unit and interconnect cable. The display unit has a 6", high-definition LCD screen which displays echoes in 4 shades of grey. The screen is clearly visible day and night.

Standard features include EBL, EVRM, Echo Trail and Guard Zone Alarm. Automatic control of tuning, gain and anti-clutter combines optimum performance with ease of operation.

The 1621 offers three different operation modes: Normal, Off-center or Watch. In Watch mode, the antenna is stopped and the transmitter is off while the screen displays nav data only. The radar wakes up at specified intervals (5, 10 or 20 minutes) and operates for 20 scans. If targets enter or leave the guard zone, an audible alarm sounds and the radar resumes normal operation.

Being both compact and splashproof, the display unit is ideally suited to both flybridge and cockpit installations.

Hi Russel,

Was wondering if this unit has been used and if so for how long. I was looking at getting a 1623 but I might be interested in a 1621.

What would you be looking for trade wise? We just moved aboard our new boat and might have things to trade.

Cheers
Jamie

Hi Jamie,

Are you in Alaska? It might be a little pricey to ship from all the way down here in the South. As far as the radar unit is concerned, it is used and was on my Hans Christian when I bought it beginning of this year. I tested it when I first checked the boat out but am updating to a display that is a chart plotter too. But the unit works well. The boat was sitting around for 10 years not being used, so I have a suspicion that the radar has minimal hours on it.

Thanks,
Russell
