The NSS12 evo3S is a Simrad chartplotter and fishfinder with a 12-inch touchscreen. It comes preloaded with a US chart and runs 1kW CHIRP sonar through dual transducer ports. The unit measures 352 x 225 x 98 mm and runs on 10-31.2V DC with a 5A fuse. It has a 10Hz internal GPS, built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, and an operating range from -15 to +55 C.
Our take
The dual transducer ports let you connect more than one transducer to a single display, which is the thing to count against your sonar plans. The maximum 28W draw and the 5A fuse are the figures to size your supply wiring against.
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.
