Raymarine 55 Watt Cyclone Pedestal Only

The Raymarine 55 Watt Cyclone Pedestal Only (model E70620) is a replacement or standalone pedestal mount assembly designed for professional-grade marine radar systems. Built to withstand demanding naval, coast guard, and commercial maritime operations, this pedestal provides the structural foundation and electrical interface required to mount and stabilize Raymarine's 55-watt Cyclone radar scanner. Law enforcement marine units, fishing vessels, and military craft rely on pedestal-mounted radar for reliable target detection, navigation, and situational awareness in low-visibility conditions and heavy weather.

The pedestal assembly supports dual-voltage operation (nominal 12 V DC or 24 V DC when paired with the VCM100 interface module), allowing integration into both smaller patrol craft and larger vessel electrical systems. The robust mechanical design isolates radar vibration and handles constant platform rotation, while the sealed electrical connector prevents salt spray and moisture ingress—critical for extended offshore deployments. Weighing 39.6 pounds, the pedestal is engineered from corrosion-resistant materials to endure saline and spray environments; the modular pedestal-only configuration allows field replacement without removing the entire radar unit, minimizing downtime in operational scenarios.

Tactical and commercial operators upgrading existing Cyclone radar systems or replacing worn pedestals will find this component essential for maintaining continuous radar coverage. The pedestal interfaces directly with the 55-watt Cyclone scanner head and requires the VCM100 video conversion module to interface with modern chart plotters and navigation displays. Installation is straightforward for qualified marine technicians; secure mounting to the hardtop, mast, or cabin structure ensures stable antenna orientation and optimal 360-degree azimuth rotation. This replacement part is ideal for operators seeking extended system lifespan and reliable performance in demanding maritime threat environments.
