The B&G Zeus3S is a sailing-focused multifunction display with built-in Wi-Fi. It carries a suite of sailing tools including SailSteer, PredictWind, RacePanel, LayLines and SailingTime, and the screen can be split into up to six panels. It is controlled by touch screen, keypad or an OP50 remote, has an NMEA 2000 port, and works with Broadband, Halo and HD Pulse radars.
Our take
Touch screen, full keypad and OP50 remote control give the Zeus3S more than one way to work it, useful when a wet hand makes touch unreliable. Note that NMEA 0183 needs an optional data cable and the HDMI output has been removed.
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.
