Re-reading the above message, I realized I forgot to make a small but significant point or two.

The power is comparatively low. Any impact will be cummulative. It's power is relative to the inverse square rule, which is; If you double the distance, the power is reduced by a factor of 4. (ex. At four feet the power is one fourth of what it is at 2 feet, etc.) So you can see that how close you are to the source matters a lot. Also, the duration of the exposure is obviously significant as well.

The only real practicle threat is if you have part of your body in the beam's path for a signifcant period of time at fairly close range. I would think that to be standing in the beam's path while fishing or some other similar activity on a boat of size of a SeaCraft, there could be detectable changes. Also, the guy sitting at the flybridge while the radar is on will have damage.
