B&G Zeus SR 12 12 MFD w/C-MAP DISCOVER X f/US/Canada – No Sonar

Description

The B&G Zeus SR 12 is a 12-inch sailing multifunction display for cruising yachts and performance sailboats that need chart, layline, and instrument information in one place. Its SolarMAX HD IPS screen is large enough for a working helm without requiring the bridge space of the 16-inch model. C-MAP Discover X US and Canada charts are preloaded.

The 1280 x 800 display gives sailing pages enough room for chart detail and data fields, while 1200-nit brightness helps when the sun is high and the cockpit is exposed. The Neo platform uses a next-generation processor, and NMEA 2000, Ethernet, WiFi, and Bluetooth support the boat’s network. There is no internal sonar, so any fishfinding system will be added through a separate network module and transducer. This is a sailing MFD first, not a ready-to-use fishfinder.

Key Features

• 12-inch SolarMAX HD IPS touchscreen – Gives sailing charts and instrument data a comfortable viewing area.
• 1280 x 800 WXGA resolution – Keeps chart labels and data panels clear.
• 1200-nit brightness – Helps visibility in daylight.
• C-MAP Discover X US and Canada charts – Provides preloaded regional chart coverage.
• NMEA 2000, Ethernet, WiFi, and Bluetooth – Connects the display to a sailing electronics network.

Who Is This For?

This 12-inch sailing chartplotter suits cruising yachts and performance sailboats that need more room than a 9-inch display provides. It is not ideal for buyers wanting built-in sonar or a transducer-included package, since network sonar requires a separate module.

Compatibility

Confirmed compatibility includes C-MAP Discover X US and Canada charts, NMEA 2000 through Micro-C, one 5-pin Ethernet port, WiFi, Bluetooth, and network sonar through a module. The supplied information does not name a specific radar, autopilot, or transducer model, and no named incompatible system was provided.

The Zeus SR 12 is the balanced sailing option between the 16- and 9-inch versions. It offers enough screen for chart and instrument pages while taking less helm space than the larger unit. The trade-off is the same sailing-system limitation: sonar is external. Choose it for a mid-size sailing helm with C-MAP charts ready to use.
