Planing hull vessels, and some displacement hull vessels, adopt a
higher bow angle when the vessel is at cruising speed. This may
raise the radar’s main radiation angle, and can cause poor detection
of nearby targets. It may be necessary to compensate for the bow
rise to ensure optimum target detection. This can be achieved by
fitting a wedge or washers between the mounting platform and the
base of the radar scanner, so that the radar beam remains parallel
to the water line when the vessel’s bow rises at cruising speed.
