Garmin 6KW XHD2 Radar Add-On – GMR-624 xHD2 Pedestal W/4′ Antenna
This unit was removed from a vessel during a refit.
When we acquired this radar, the pedestal showed signs of oxidation and paint chipping which is common for these units. We went ahead and stripped the radar down completely, had it powder coated white, reassembled it, and confirmed it was in working order. Due to the poor quality of metal Garmin used to manufacture these radar pedestals, there may be slight blemishes on the outside, this is out of our control.
This is a Garmin 6kw XHD2 that was fully tested and is fully functional. Unit picked up a few targets around 2-22nm out.
This radar works with any Garmin display that has radar capability.
This is a fantastic unit. Please note that the array has some scuff marks on the gray XHD2 decal.
This is a 6Kw radar. It can be a 624 with a 4ft array and with a 6ft array attached it becomes a 626.
This would be perfect for someone looking to add open array radar to their vessel without paying an extra several thousand dollars.

- 6KW XHD2 Pedestal – used
- 4′ XHD Array – used, may have light marks from being previously used, marks on decal

**Garmin Radar Disclaimer:**
Max Marine Electronics believes in full transparency; We sell Garmin radars due to overwhelming demand from customers. Garmin builds a suite of extremely easy to use, and for the most part, reliable marine electronics products. Their radars are a rare exception. We have always done our best to supply the best product we can, but there are factors beyond our control. These factors include the fact that Garmin radars have a disproportionately high rate of failure, are made with mediocre aluminum alloys (open array radars only), and that all but the latest/current production XHD2 (open array radars) and XHD (dome radars) are no longer serviced by Garmin and parts are no longer available.
The disproportionately high rate of failure is well documented online. Our radars are tested to ensure full functionality at the time of sale and come with a 90-day warranty. The aluminum alloy issue is also well documented – the aluminum oxidizes which cause the factory powder coating to blister. This is unattractive and can cause water intrusion when the blistering occurs in the case-seal area of the pedestal. We strip, bead blast, and powder coat nearly every Garmin pedestal we sell. Because the degradation of the aluminum leaves small artifacts in the surface of the aluminum, some of those artifacts will show through on the powder coating. Furthermore, because of the aluminum alloys used in manufacturing, there may be small areas of off gassing that are left in the powder coating process. Lastly, Garmin no longer supports or produces parts for any radars that are not current production. This includes the original GMR40X, all XHD pedestals, and all non-XHD domes.
This means that after the Max Marine Electronics’ 90-day warranty (the same warranty Garmin gives to factory repaired products), there is no resource for these radars to be serviced. We certainly hope and expect the radars will last well beyond the warranty period, and we have put a lot of time into trying to make the best of the situation with these radars. We believe that if buying a used Garmin radar, buying one of ours will give buyers the best shot at a reasonable service life.
