Overview

The Garmin 010-01364-20 is an open-array radar pedestal for a GMR Fantom 12X system that pairs with a GMR Fantom 4 ft or 6 ft radar array (array sold separately).

It runs on 10 to 32 Vdc for common 12 V and 24 V power systems, and it carries an IPX6 water rating for exposure to heavy seas and spray. Plan your installation around the pedestal weight of 15.8 kg (34.8 lb.) and the provided 15 m (49 ft 3 in.) power and 15 m (49 ft 3 in.) network cable lengths.

Radar operation is handled from a compatible Garmin chartplotter over a Garmin BlueNet network or a Garmin Marine Network connection.

Compatibility and fit

This pedestal is intended for the GMR Fantom open-array setup and is used with the matching 4 ft or 6 ft antenna. On the display side, it ties into a Garmin BlueNet network and can also be integrated into Garmin Marine Network systems, so it helps to confirm what network ports your chartplotter or network switch provides before you start pulling cables.

Installation and setup

Mount the pedestal on a rigid radar platform or hardtop structure and keep the base level so the antenna scans true. Route the power and network leads with drip loops and proper strain relief, and keep connectors supported so vibration does not work them loose over time.

Grounding is part of the install. Run a 12 AWG copper ground wire from the pedestal ground point to an appropriate water ground and seal exposed hardware to slow down corrosion in saltwater environments. After wiring, power up the system and set the installed antenna size in the chartplotter radar installation settings.

Electrical and system integration

The radar is intended to be powered from the boat battery within the 10 to 32 Vdc range, with an in-line fuse in the power lead. If your installation uses a voltage converter, keep it in the circuit and retain the required fusing. For longer runs, match wire gauge to the added distance and make any extensions with crimp connectors and heat-shrink so the splice stays watertight.

Use cases on board

This pedestal fits boats already running Garmin chartplotters that want an open-array radar footprint for offshore runs, coastal cruising, or night approaches where longer range and clear target separation matter. It also makes sense for refits where the array is being replaced separately from the pedestal.
