Navigating challenging offshore waters demands radar that cuts through clutter, spots distant threats, and keeps you ahead of the weather. The Garmin GMR 1236 xHD3 steps up with magnetron-powered precision in a compact 6-foot open-array design, delivering crystal-clear images up to 96 nautical miles. Whether you're chasing big game fish or plotting a safe course through fog-shrouded seas, this 12kW powerhouse integrates seamlessly with your Garmin chartplotter, turning raw data into actionable insights for confident decision-making.
Dynamic Auto Gain kicks in automatically, dialing in perfect sensitivity whether you're dodging rocks in a tight inlet or scanning empty horizons. Pair it with Dynamic Sea Filter, which adapts to choppy swells, flat calms, or storm-tossed waves, ensuring sea clutter never swamps your view.
For anglers, Auto Bird Gain highlights surface-feeding flocks—prime indicators of bait balls below. High-resolution optics, with a razor-thin 1.1° horizontal beam, pick out individual birds or debris from afar. And with MARPA tracking for up to 30 targets, plus customizable Guard Zones that trigger audio alerts, safety stays front and center.
Rated IPX6 waterproof and handling 80-knot winds standard (upgradable to 100 knots), this radar laughs off brutal conditions. A whisper-quiet drive motor and dual-speed rotation (24/48 RPM) mean reliable performance without the racket.
At 12kW transmit power, it punches through rain and fog like few others. Minimum detection starts at just 20 meters, perfect for close-quarters maneuvering. Network it with multiple chartplotters for redundancy—pull feeds from dual radars if needed. Overlay radar directly on charts for a fused situational awareness that's invaluable during night runs or low-vis ops.
Mount high on a sturdy mast for optimal horizon scan. Calibrate gain and sea clutter manually in tricky spots to fine-tune beyond auto modes. Regularly clean the dome to maintain peak beam clarity—salt buildup is the silent killer of radar returns.
Fishermen love how it reveals bird activity and weed lines from miles out, leading straight to trophy hauls. Cruisers rely on its weather penetration to skirt squalls and spot unlit traffic early. Dual-range views let you baby-sit the anchor swing while eyeing the fleet on the horizon—no swapping screens mid-watch.

It offers detection up to 96 nautical miles, ideal for long-range offshore monitoring of weather, traffic, and targets.
This feature filters sea clutter and interference across multiple scans, enhancing the clarity of consistent targets like boats or landmarks.
Yes, it's rated for 80-knot winds standard, with an optional upgrade for 100-knot commercial-grade resistance.
Absolutely—split-screen displays let you view short- and long-range simultaneously, with independent controls and chart overlays.
It runs on 10-32 VDC, with typical transmit consumption around 70W and low 18W standby for efficient onboard power use.
Yes, track up to 30 moving targets for collision avoidance, with Guard Zone alarms for added safety.
Features a low-noise drive motor, ensuring smooth, quiet operation even at high RPMs during demanding conditions.
Narrow 1.1° horizontal by 23° vertical beamwidth provides sharp, high-definition imaging for separating close targets.
GMR™ 1236 xHD3 6' Open Array Radar & Pedestal - 12kW
SCAN WITH THE MAGNETRON POWER OF GARMIN OPEN-ARRAY RADAR
Combining high-definition imaging with the latest Garmin platform technology, this robust 6’ open-array radar offer superior weather, obstacle and traffic detection for mariners cruising or fishing offshore.
New Scan Averaging Technology
A first for Garmin magnetron radar, scan averaging helps filter out sea clutter and interference to enhance the detection and display of consistent targets.
Angular Target-Size Adjustment
Pulse expansion and angular target-size processing techniques optimize on-screen object shapes for better interpretation at all range scales.
True Echo Trails
A historical “trail” of boats on the water is displayed on the screen, removing relative motion influence to help you quickly identify moving targets and potential collision threats.
Dual Range with Overlay
A single radar antenna is capable of providing split-screen, side-by-side images on your compatible chartplotter, with independent range setting and controls for both close and long range. Overlay either or both ranges on a chart.
Dynamic Auto Gain
Gain automatically adjusts levels to optimum settings for harbors, near shore and offshore in open waters.
Radar Overlay
See overlaid images on your chartplotter’s map screen (with appropriate sensors, sold separately).
High-Resolution Radar
Pick out targets at a distance, thanks to narrow horizontal beamwidth and high antenna gain.
Dual-Radar Support
This provides redundancy and allows each display unit to pull data from different sources.
Dynamic Sea Filter
Radar gain automatically adjusts sea clutter for calm, medium and rough sea conditions.
Auto Bird Gain
Locate flocks of birds at the water’s surface where baitfish are also likely to be found.
MARPA Target Tracking
Track up to 30 targets to help avoid collisions (with appropriate sensors, sold separately).
Guard Zone
Set the safety zone, and receive an alarm when an object enters the zone.
Range and Bearing Cues
Variable range markers and electronic bearing lines allow rapid measurements of distance and bearing to vessels and land.
