Imagine slicing through dense fog or navigating crowded waters with crystal-clear visibility of every target ahead. The Garmin 12kW xHD2 pedestal delivers that edge, powering a high-definition radar system renowned for its pinpoint accuracy and reliability on the open water. Designed exclusively for serious mariners, this pedestal pairs seamlessly with compatible Garmin open-array antennas to provide up to 72 nautical miles of range, ensuring you spot distant vessels, shorelines, or brewing storms long before they become issues.
What sets this pedestal apart is its narrow 1.8° horizontal beamwidth, which sharpens focus on weaker echoes at extreme distances—something broader beams simply can't match. Coupled with 8-bit true color processing, it transforms raw radar data into vivid, intuitive images on your chartplotter, making it easier to distinguish between a buoy and a boat or rain clutter from real threats.
Forget fiddling with knobs in rough seas. Dynamic Auto Gain intelligently tweaks sensitivity based on your environment—harbor clutter, coastal shallows, or vast offshore expanses. Pair it with the Dynamic Sea Filter, which adapts to flat calm, choppy waves, or pounding swells, and you'll enjoy clutter-free scans every time.
Overlay radar directly onto your charts for a fused view of reality and navigation data. Add MARPA target tracking for up to 10 vessels (with a heading sensor), complete with Guard Zones that blare alarms if intruders cross your safety perimeter. VRM and EBL tools let you measure distances and bearings on the fly, turning your display into a pro-level command center.
Mariners demand gear that withstands salt spray, vibration, and endless hours under the sun. This pedestal weighs in at a sturdy 47.1 pounds, with dimensions optimized for stable mounting: 20.5" wide, 12.75" high, and 12.5" deep. It runs efficiently on 10-32V DC, drawing just 90W typically, so it won't drain your batteries during long hauls.

Installation is straightforward—no endless menus or calibration headaches. Bolt it down, connect the cable, and let the auto-features handle the rest. It's engineered for drop-in compatibility with Garmin's ecosystem, making upgrades painless.
In a world of flashy gadgets, the Garmin 12kW xHD2 pedestal stands out for its no-nonsense reliability. Commercial operators, tournament anglers, and offshore cruisers alike praise its target separation in cluttered bays or during night runs. Whether dodging freighters in shipping lanes or chasing billfish under bird piles, it delivers data you can trust when stakes are high.
Pro tip: Pair it with a 6-foot array for maximum range without sacrificing close-in detail. And for those multi-display setups, dual support means no single point of failure—peace of mind on every voyage.
No, this is the pedestal with cable only. You'll need to select a compatible Garmin open-array antenna separately for a complete setup.
The ultra-narrow 1.8° beamwidth excels at isolating distant or small targets, offering superior separation compared to wider-beam radars, especially in poor visibility.
MARPA target tracking needs a heading sensor for accurate vectoring, but core functions like Bird Mode and Echo Trails work independently.
It automatically optimizes sensitivity for harbors, inshore areas, or open ocean, reducing manual adjustments and minimizing false echoes.
Yes, Dual Radar Support allows each display to pull data from this or another source, ideal for bridged helm stations.
Best suited for mid-to-large vessels over 40 feet, where long-range detection and power punch through weather are crucial.

High-Power xHD2 Radar with Narrow 1.8° Beam
This high-definition 12 kW radar has the power to deliver excellent range, up to 72 nautical miles, even in fog or rain. Its narrow 1.8 degree horizontal beamwidth means it can pick out weaker targets further off in the distance than wider beamwidths. The result is this radar paints a clear, concise image of the shoreline, other vessels, and impending weather on your Garmin chartplotter. You get consistent target positions, excellent target separation, and reliable operation. Its 8-bit true color imagery also helps you discriminate large targets from small ones and enhances target separation. Rotation speeds of 24 and 48 rpm with a max range scale of 72 nautical miles.
Bird Mode
Fishermen know, when you find birds at the water's surface, you'll also find fish.
To further improve your fishing experience, use Bird Mode, which helps to locate birds at the water's surface where baitfish are also likely to be found.
Echo Trails
A historical "trail" is left on the screen to help you quickly and easily identify moving targets and potential collision threats.
Dual Range
A single radar antenna is capable of providing split screen images on your chartplotter for both close and long-range.
Dual Radar Support
Provides redundancy and the ability for each display unit on the boat to select data from one of two different radar sources.
Dynamic Auto Gain
Dynamic Auto Gain automatically adjusts gain levels to optimum settings for harbors, near shore, and offshore in open waters.
Dynamic Sea Filter
Dynamic Sea Filter automatically adjusts gain to calm, medium and rough sea conditions.
Radar Overlay
Overlays the radar image on the chartplotter's map page.
MARPA Target Tracking
Mini-automatic radar plotting aid (MARPA) tracks up to 10 selected targets, helping you keep track of other vessels and avoid collisions.
Guard Zone
Set the safety zone and receive an alarm when an object enters the zone.
VRM & EBL
Variable range markers (VRM) and electronic bearing lines (EBL) allow rapid measurements of distance and bearing to vessels and land.
The Power of Simple Radar
This radar is designed to be easy to install and use. There are no complex user settings to fuss around with, just install it and start using it. You can rely on the GMR xHD2 to provide reliable, optimum performance in all conditions.
