You can turn on the radar with deck awashed too, but you will definetely stay half-blinded, unless u will make often turn arounds to see whats going on at your back, or u may use your persicope. Anyway staying awashed for long time is a risky call..
But I often experiencing radar shut downs while on surface but in heavy seas, since when the big wave come and the bridge goes underwater, radar would simply switch off and u have to turn it on again manually.
