My little Furuno 1622 has been mounted on top of the dashboard on the
passenger side of my 19' bowrider for several years.
1) It is sunlight visible,
2) I don't know about Furuno/waterproof, but in a small boat there's plenty
of moisture/spray/splash, if not from rain and rough water, from careless
friends helping washdown.

I am currently runing Winchart NautiQ and SOB on my laptop, both using
C-Map Max charts. This is also interfaced with nmea data from Raymarine
(Depth, wind etc) and obviously has a GPS input

I am thinking of getting a radar. Can anyone advise me of manufacturers,
and give me a clue how to interface this with the above. Where do I start?

Am also trying to get a sunlight visible waterproof display to mount at
the helm, but they don't yet seem to exist (at a sensible price anyway)

Thanks

Phil
