B&G Zeus 3S 16 – 16 Multi-Function Sailing Display

Description

The B&G Zeus 3S 16 is a 16-inch Full HD sailing multifunction display with iMX8 quad-core processing, hybrid control, two Ethernet ports, and dual 9-pin sonar connections ready for 1kW CHIRP. HDMI output, composite video input, SailSteer, StartLine, H5000 integration, and autopilot control suit a professional sailing helm. No transducer is included.

Key Features

• 16-inch SolarMAX HD IPS Full HD display – Provides a large workspace for charts, sailing data, video, and sonar.
• 1920 x 1080 resolution – Shows detailed navigation and instrument information across the large screen.
• iMX8 quad-core processor – Provides the stated high-speed processing platform.
• Dual 9-pin Xonic sonar ports – Supports 1kW CHIRP sonar expansion with suitable transducers.
• H5000 integration, SailSteer, StartLine, and autopilot control – Provides advanced sailing-system functions for performance boats.

Who Is This For?

This unit suits offshore sailing yachts, racing boats, cruising yachts, and multi-display helms that need a large sailing MFD. Its video and network connections are useful when instruments, cameras, and autopilot data share the helm.

It is not ideal for a compact sailboat or buyers needing a complete fishfinder package. No transducer is included, and the 16-inch display requires substantial mounting space.

Compatibility

Confirmed features include H5000 integration, SailSteer, StartLine, autopilot control, two 9-pin Xonic ports, one NMEA 2000, one NMEA 0183 input/output, two Ethernet ports, HDMI output, and composite video input. The supplied information does not identify radar models, WiFi, Bluetooth, or specific transducer compatibility. No named incompatible system was provided; verify B&G sailing, video, sonar, and network requirements before installation.

The Zeus 3S 16 is the professional sailing display in this group, offering substantially more screen area and advanced H5000, StartLine, and autopilot integration than the Vulcan models. It also provides video I/O and dual sonar ports. The trade-off is installation size and the missing transducer, so it suits a planned racing or offshore sailing system rather than a small cruising helm.
