Scanstrut APT-150-01 - Aluminum PowerTower® Radar Mount - 6" Aft Leaning

The Scanstrut APT-150-01 Aluminum PowerTower® Radar Mount is a aft-leaning tower solution designed for serious anglers and boaters who demand reliable, forward-facing radar installation on vessels where space or structural constraints require a compact, angled mounting solution. After years on the water, you understand that radar placement directly affects your ability to detect weather, other vessels, and navigation hazards—especially in challenging conditions. This 6-inch aft-leaning mount addresses the need for elevated radar placement without requiring a full vertical tower, making it ideal for center console boats, smaller cruisers, and sportfishing vessels where a traditional straight tower installation isn't practical.

Built from marine-grade aluminum, the Scanstrut APT-150-01 combines lightweight construction with corrosion resistance—critical attributes for saltwater and freshwater environments alike. The 6-inch aft-leaning geometry positions your radar antenna at an optimal angle to reduce wind load while maintaining clear sight lines forward and to the sides, improving target acquisition and reducing false echoes from nearby structures or rigging. At just 6 pounds, this mount minimizes top-weight distribution, which helps preserve vessel stability and fuel efficiency without compromising the elevation needed for effective radar coverage. The precision engineering allows secure, vibration-damping installation, keeping your electronics stable even in rough seas or high-speed running conditions.

Boaters running center consoles, fishing guides managing tight helm spaces, and cruiser owners with non-standard canopy configurations will find the APT-150-01 particularly valuable for modernizing existing radar systems or upgrading to larger antenna arrays without major structural modification. The compact footprint (13 x 7 x 13 inches) fits standard mounting locations while the angled design clears hardtops, T-tops, and bimini frames that would block a vertical tower. Installation pairs well with modern chartplotters and solid-state radars, and the aluminum construction accepts stainless hardware for maximum durability in harsh marine environments. Verify radar antenna compatibility and mounting bracket requirements before ordering to ensure proper fit with your specific radar unit.
