I have Garmin electronics and would like to add a Garmin domed radar. They are available in 18" and 24" diameter. Is the 24" too big for the 306 Canyon T-Top?

I should fit with no problem. Get up there and measure! I run a18" Fathom 18x digital 40 watt on my 268 without any problems. It's only 3" wider in radius. Ask yourself how much radar do you need. Great radar. Consider getting some kind of magnetic heading sensor to orient the radar at low speed. Garmin Steadycast or add/upgrade GPS antenna Garmin GPS 24xd.

I have a 24" on my 257, fits no problem. As Hookup1 mentioned you will need a heading sensor if you don't have one.
