B&G Zeus3 7in Multifunction Display Chartplotter, C-MAP Charts, SolarMAX HD, Touchscreen, Wi-Fi, 10Hz GPS

Overview

The B&G 000-13241-001 is a 7-inch Zeus3 multifunction display with Insight charting for sailboats that want one screen to handle navigation, instruments, and onboard systems. The SolarMAX HD IPS display runs at 1024 x 600 resolution and is rated at 1200 nits, so it stays readable in sun and spray, and the unit accepts 12/24 V DC power (10 to 31.2 V DC).

Control stays workable when the boat is moving. You can run it by touchscreen, or use the rotary knob and keypad when hands are wet or the helm is busy. Two microSD slots handle chart data, updates, and backups.

For system integration, it connects on NMEA 2000 and has a single Ethernet port for higher-bandwidth peripherals. It also has built-in wireless (802.11b/g/n) and Bluetooth for supported app and device connections.

Key features

• 7-inch SolarMAX HD IPS display (1024 x 600) with 1200-nit brightness and wide viewing angles
• Multi-touch screen with rotary knob and full keypad, including a man overboard shortcut using the front keys
• Runs on 12/24 V systems (10 to 31.2 V DC); max power draw 20 W (plus or minus 4 W) with a recommended 3 A fuse
• Waterproof rating IPX6 and IPX7 for exposed helm installations and washdowns
• Built-in 10 Hz GPS receiver with WAAS, MSAS, EGNOS, and GLONASS support
• NMEA 2000 Micro-C connection and 1 Ethernet port for radar, sonar modules, audio, weather, and digital switching on supported networks
• Dual microSD card slots for charts, updates, and data backup
• Internal Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n) and Bluetooth for wireless viewing, updates, and supported device control
• Built-in sonar capability with support for CHIRP, StructureScan, and ForwardScan when paired with the right transducer
• NMEA 0183 and composite video input available via optional adaptor cables

Installation and setup

The display can be bracket mounted with the supplied U-bracket or panel mounted. For panel mounting, use the foam gasket and keep the card reader door shut after inserting or removing a microSD card to help prevent water ingress. Leave enough space behind the unit for cable bends and connector service, and avoid mounting where it could be used as a handhold or where it could be submerged.

Plan ventilation when flush mounting into tight pods or enclosed panels. A dry, ventilated cavity helps prevent heat buildup and keeps the touchscreen responsive on hot days.

Compatibility and onboard integration

NMEA 2000 is the cleanest way to pull in wind, depth, speed, heading, AIS targets, and performance data from the rest of the boat. Use the Ethernet port for higher-bandwidth gear such as compatible radar and network sonar sources, and for sharing data with other networked displays.

This unit is a good fit for sailboats that already run B&G instruments or an autopilot and want charting, sailing data, and control points at the helm. It also works well on boats adding a network backbone for the first time, as long as power, cabling, and network layout are planned up front.

Charting and sailing features

Insight charting is supported, and the unit also works with Navionics and C-MAP cartography as well as compatible third-party AT5 chart content. Sailing-oriented views such as SailSteer and WindPlot help keep wind trends, targets, and key performance numbers in sight without bouncing between screens.

If your setup includes a B&G autopilot, the display can be used for direct control and commissioning, which is helpful for shorthanded sailing and for keeping pilot functions close to the helm.
