B&G Zeus S 9 Chartplotter/Fishfinder w/o Transducer Product Description
Imagine slicing through choppy waters on a crisp morning race, your eyes locked on the horizon while the B&G Zeus S 9 delivers precise laylines and wind shifts right at your fingertips. This isn't just a chartplotter—it's a sailing companion engineered for those who live for the thrill of the tack and the strategy of the course. Without a transducer, it slots seamlessly into your existing setup, focusing pure power on navigation, fishfinding compatibility, and sailor-centric intelligence.
Master the Winds with Tailored Sailing Modes
Sailors know that one size never fits all on the water. The Zeus S 9 flips that script with dedicated Cruise and Race modes that transform the interface on the fly. Switch to Cruise for uncluttered views emphasizing safe passage, tides, and relaxed trip planning—perfect for weekend warriors plotting coastal hops. Flip to Race, and it unleashes a tactical arsenal: start line overlays, bias indicators, and race timers that shave seconds off your finish time.
What sets it apart? These modes aren't gimmicks; they're born from real-world feedback. Preset dashboards pull in wind history, true wind angles, and polar data tailored to monohulls or multihulls, so you're not fumbling through menus mid-maneuver. I've seen crews gain confidence in unfamiliar bays, using SailingTime to cursor for spot-on ETA calls during crew briefings.
Precision Charting That Guards Your Hull
Powered by C-MAP DISCOVER X and REVEAL X charts, navigation feels alive. High-res bathymetric contours reveal hidden shallows, while shaded relief and satellite overlays paint a vivid picture—even in fog. Tides and currents project ahead, feeding into autorouting that's blisteringly fast, calculating optimal paths without subscriptions.
The real game-changer? C-MAP-powered Safety Alerts. It scans your trackline continuously, flagging rocks, buoys, or skinny water based on speed and zoom. Harbor mode dials sensitivity for tight marinas; Offshore loosens it for bluewater runs. No more heart-stopping groundings—it's like having a vigilant mate scanning charts 24/7.
Award-Winning Sailing Tools, Evolved
B&G's heritage shines in features like SailSteer, now sharper with intuitive pointers for upwind targets and downwind runs. Laylines overlay wind history as a heat map, factoring tides for accurate tacking angles. Place a cursor anywhere, and it spits out sailing time and distance—crucial for scouting marks or briefing tacticians.
Racing pros rave about the StartLine tool: Ping ends with a button, apply GPS bow offset, and watch bias, tide set, and distance to ends unfold on a dynamic chart. Race Timer syncs to GPS starts, auto-capturing your line distance at zero. Wind plots track trends over minutes or hours, helping you call shifts before they hit.
Unrivaled Display in Any Conditions
The 9-inch SolarMAX IPS touchscreen is a beast: 1280x800 resolution, over 1200 nits brightness, and 85-degree viewing angles that laugh at polarized glasses or heeling decks. Touch-lock prevents accidental swipes during rough seas, and the quad-core processor juggles radar overlays, sonar (when paired), and instruments without a stutter.
Built tough with IPX6/7 waterproofing, it shrugs off spray, vibration (100,000 cycles of 20G), and temps from -15°C to 55°C. Compact at 2.2kg, it mounts via panel kit or U-bracket, fitting tight helm stations.
Seamless System Heartbeat
At 12V with Ethernet, NMEA 2000, and dual Wi-Fi, it networks effortlessly. Pair with HALO radars for pulse compression clarity, Triton² pilots for hands-free steering, or Nemesis instruments for data fusion. Bluetooth and the B&G app let you plan routes onshore with Reveal X charts, sync waypoints, and review sessions—data logging via Triton Edge elevates performance analysis.
Fishfinders? It supports CHIRP, StructureScan, and ActiveImaging via the 1kW Xsonic port. Internal 10Hz GPS (GLONASS/Galileo/Beidou) ensures pinpoint accuracy worldwide.
Everyday Wins for Cruisers and Racers
For cruisers, Tide Gauge histograms and POI one-touch access simplify anchoring. Racers love Quick Race Entry: Sort waypoints, add rounding cues, and preview legs with wind forecasts. Chart orientations—Wind Up, Start Line Up—keep tactics visual. Night mode dims smartly, preserving vision.
Setup wizard gets novices plotting in minutes; pros customize dashboards endlessly. No NMEA 0183? Ethernet and N2K cover it. IP video adds cameras for maneuvering confidence.
Pro Tips from the Helm
Mount high for visibility, route cables away from compasses (50cm safe distance). Calibrate wind via app for polar precision. Use wind history to predict oscillations—pair with HALO for clutter-free ARPA. For multihulls, tweak heel/pitch inputs for true laylines. Firmware updates via Wi-Fi keep it cutting-edge.
