This B&G Zeus3S 12 bundle pairs a 12-inch sailing chartplotter with a HALO20+ radar in a 20-inch dome. The display has a touchscreen plus a rotary dial and keypad, built-in Wi-Fi, and sailing functions such as SailSteer, Laylines and RacePanel. The radar reaches 36 nm and can run in dual range to watch near and far at once. At ranges up to 1.5 nm it turns at 60 RPM, and MARPA tracks up to 10 targets, or 20 in dual range.

Our take

The HALO20+ radar makes a full 360 degree sweep every second at ranges up to 1.5 nm, so a close-in target moves on the screen almost as it moves on the water. MARPA tracking of up to 10 targets adds a collision picture.

From our buying guide

What's in the box depends on the part number: Raymarine sells one screen display only, with charts, with a transducer, or with both. Not every chart card fits every plotter, either.

Check before you buy:

  • The part number includes the charts and transducer you expect.
  • It reads the charts you want, and you know how long their updates last, since many come with a one-year subscription.
  • A touchscreen suits your helm, since Raymarine warns that prolonged rain or water wash can cause false touches.
