20/20

Could correct use of Radar have helped avoid the collision and if so why?

Yes, because the Radar will help see rocks under the water. Yes because the radar can detect rain. Yes because the Radar, used correctly has a number of functions that will detect, calculate and warn the user of other targets that could be dangers No. Yes because the Radar only works in the dark.
