Navigating busy waterways or open seas on a compact vessel demands radar that's reliable, intuitive, and unobtrusive. The Furuno 1623 steps up with a powerhouse performance packed into a sleek, space-saving design, perfect for powerboats and sailboats starting at just 17 feet. Its lightweight 15-inch radome antenna pairs seamlessly with a waterproof 6-inch Silver Bright monochrome LCD display, delivering crystal-clear visuals even in rough conditions.
What sets this radar apart is its versatility—from expansive 16-nautical-mile scans for horizon spotting to ultra-precise 1/8-nautical-mile zooms for dodging obstacles in crowded marinas. Mariners appreciate how the high-resolution 240x320 dot screen, combined with four-level gray-tone target differentiation, makes spotting buoys, vessels, or debris straightforward, reducing guesswork and boosting confidence on the water.
The 2.2kW transmitter fuels a tri-speed radome antenna that ramps up rotation speeds at shorter ranges, sharpening target accuracy where it matters most—close quarters. With three pulse lengths and repetition rates, plus a linear receiver boasting a low 10 dB noise figure, echoes pop against the background. Automatic tuning keeps things optimized without constant fiddling, while manual overrides give seasoned skippers full control.
Sea clutter and rain interference can clutter your screen, but not here. Auto or manual STC (sea clutter) and FTC (rain clutter) adjustments strip away noise, revealing true targets. Add echo stretch for faint signals and interference rejection to block rival radar pings, and you've got a system tuned for clarity in fog, showers, or choppy swells.
The ergonomic layout shines with an omni pad for quick cursor moves, programmable nav data screens, and a [PROG] key for menu shortcuts. Reverse video flips to night-friendly white-on-black, and off-center shift lets you focus the display where needed. Integrate with compatible GPS plotters via TLL output for waypoint lollipops and lat/lon marks, or hook up a BBWGPS receiver for wind data overlays—turning your helm into a command center.
For weekend warriors on a 20-foot center console or liveaboards on a nimble sailboat, the 1623 balances punchy performance with minimal footprint. It excels in low-light harbor entries, fishing spot scouting amid clutter, or overnight coastal runs where spotting unlit traffic early saves the day. Power draw stays efficient at 36 watts on 12 or 24 VDC, with a 10-meter signal cable included for straightforward installs.
Picture threading a foggy inlet: The variable range marker and electronic bearing line pinpoint hazards, while full-screen standby nav data keeps course info at a glance. It's not just radar—it's a safety net that adapts to your boating style.
Lightweight components mean solo or duo installs are feasible, shipping in one 24-pound carton. Mount the radome high for optimal sweep, route the cable cleanly, and power up—auto gain and tuning handle the rest. It plays well with NMEA networks for plotter overlays, enhancing situational awareness without overwhelming small consoles.
It's ideal for powerboats and sailboats as small as 17 feet, offering compact size and powerful performance for coastal cruising, fishing, or harbor navigation.
The 15-inch radome increases RPM at short ranges, providing faster refreshes and better accuracy for close-in maneuvering compared to fixed-speed antennas.
Yes, it supports TLL output for target lat/lon data and waypoint lollipops on compatible plotters that accept TLL sentences, plus BBWGPS receiver connectivity.
It runs on 12 or 24 VDC systems, drawing 36 watts active and about 8 watts in standby or Watchman mode for efficient battery use.
Auto/manual STC for sea clutter, FTC for rain, plus echo stretch and interference rejection ensure clean screens in adverse weather, highlighting real targets.
Absolutely—the reverse video mode switches to white targets on a black background, reducing eye strain during night watches.
A 10-meter standard signal cable comes standard, simplifying radome-to-display connections.
Note: Nav data features require appropriate inputs. For any concerns, reach out to the manufacturer directly.
