If one wants one's bacon saving in the event of a GPS failure, the cheap, low power option is probably a spare GPS?If you are putting Radar up the mast , put it above the topping lift sheave and above the point you have or might want to fit a baby/inner stay. Also fit a deck light underneath it . It will give great light on deck and will be well protected...
I moved mine this year and it made a big difference in terms of things getting snagged.
I would fit radar, when you need it you really need it. (It once saved my bacon when gps failed in fog and darkness whilst looking for a port entrance) I have a basic stand alone secondhand unit that cost very little.
