Keep Your Radar Locked on the Horizon
The Scanstrut Self-Levelling Radar Backstay Mount is engineered for sailboats that need their radar antenna positioned high and clear — without sacrificing accuracy when the boat heels. The self-levelling mechanism continuously compensates for heel and roll, keeping the antenna horizontal so your radar delivers a consistent, reliable picture in all conditions.
This aluminum version is built for long-term offshore durability, mounting directly to the backstay for a clean installation that keeps the deck unobstructed.
Key Features
- Continuous Self-Levelling — Automatically keeps the radar antenna level with the horizon as the boat heels, preventing target loss and maintaining picture quality in rough conditions.
- Backstay Mount Design — Attaches to the backstay wire, positioning the radar high and aft for maximum range and a clear 360° sweep with minimal deck obstruction.
- Aluminum Construction — Corrosion-resistant aluminum build suited to offshore and bluewater sailing environments.
- Optimised Antenna Performance — Eliminates the signal degradation caused by a tilted antenna, giving you the best possible radar return at all heel angles.
- Clean Deck Installation — Keeps the deck free from radar-related hardware, improving safety and reducing trip hazards.
Compatible With
Designed for use with dome and open-array radar antennas mounted on sailboat backstays. Check your radar manufacturer's specifications for maximum antenna weight.

Parts Desk Insights
For in-store reference only.
- Best Use Case: Ideal for bluewater or offshore sailboat owners who sail in heeled conditions and need consistent radar performance. Best suited to customers with a backstay-equipped rig who want a clean, high-mounted radar position without deck penetrations.
- SKU: 922-LMBA1 (Aluminum) — compare with 922-LMBF1 (Fibreglass) if customer is weight-conscious.
- Key Differentiator vs. Mast Mount: Backstay mount positions the antenna further aft and higher; mast mount (922-LMM1) is better for powerboats or motorsailers without a backstay.
- Weight: 11.34 kg — confirm customer's backstay wire gauge and radar antenna weight rating before recommending.
- Install Note: No deck drilling required. Verify backstay wire diameter compatibility prior to sale.
