Explore SIMRAD Marine Instruments & Displays

SIMRAD Digital Instrument Displays

SIMRAD digital instrument displays provide clear access to important navigation and vessel information at the helm. Depending on your connected equipment and system configuration, compatible displays can show depth, boat speed, heading, wind information, engine data, fuel information, and other onboard data.

SIMRAD Multi-Function Instrument Displays

A SIMRAD multi-function instrument display can bring multiple types of boat data together on one screen. Customizable displays allow boaters to monitor the information most important to them while reducing the need for multiple dedicated gauges and instruments at the helm.

SIMRAD Depth & Speed Instruments

Monitor water depth and vessel speed with compatible SIMRAD depth and speed instruments. Accurate depth information can help boaters navigate shallow water and changing bottom conditions, while speed data provides useful information for cruising, fishing, and general boat operation.

SIMRAD Wind Instruments

SIMRAD wind instruments can provide valuable wind speed and direction information for boaters and sailors. When connected to compatible sensors and displays, wind data can help with navigation, sail trim, weather awareness, and understanding changing conditions on the water.

SIMRAD Heading & Compass Sensors

Compatible SIMRAD heading sensors and electronic compass systems provide heading and directional information to connected marine electronics. Accurate heading data can support navigation, radar, autopilot, and other functions within an integrated SIMRAD marine electronics system.

Build a Connected SIMRAD Instrument System

Monitor Vessel Data at the Helm

SIMRAD marine instruments can help centralize important information about your boat and its surroundings. Depending on your vessel and connected equipment, displays can provide access to navigation, environmental, engine, fuel, and performance data in an easy-to-read format.

SIMRAD NMEA 2000 Instruments

Many compatible SIMRAD marine instruments use NMEA 2000 networking to share information between displays, sensors, engines, navigation equipment, and other onboard electronics. A properly configured network can make it easier to distribute vessel data throughout your boat and create a more integrated helm.

Connect Instruments to SIMRAD Multifunction Displays

Compatible SIMRAD instruments, sensors, and vessel data can work alongside SIMRAD multifunction displays and chartplotters. Integrating your instruments with other marine electronics can provide convenient access to navigation, sonar, radar, autopilot, engine, and vessel information throughout the helm.

SIMRAD Marine Instruments for Different Types of Boating

SIMRAD Instruments for Powerboats

Powerboat owners can use SIMRAD instruments to monitor information such as speed, depth, heading, engine performance, and other available vessel data. Choose displays and sensors based on your boat, existing electronics, and the information you want available at the helm.

SIMRAD Instruments for Fishing Boats

For anglers, accurate depth, speed, heading, and vessel information can complement chartplotter and fishfinder data. Integrating compatible SIMRAD fishing and navigation electronics can create a more complete view of boat performance and conditions while searching for fish inshore or offshore.

SIMRAD Instruments for Cruising

Cruisers can use SIMRAD marine instruments to keep essential vessel and navigation information visible during longer trips. Integrating instrument data with compatible chartplotters, radar, and autopilot systems can help create a centralized and organized cruising helm.

SIMRAD Instruments for Sailboats

Sailors can use compatible SIMRAD instruments to monitor wind, speed, depth, heading, and other navigation information. Displaying this information clearly at the helm can help with navigation, sail trim, and understanding changing conditions while underway.

How to Choose SIMRAD Marine Instruments

Choose the Data You Want to Monitor

Start by identifying the information most important for your boat and boating style. Common marine instrument data includes depth, speed, heading, wind, engine information, and fuel data. Your available information will depend on the sensors, engines, networks, and other electronics connected to your system.

Consider Display Size & Location

Choose marine instrument displays based on available helm space, viewing distance, and where the information needs to be visible. Multiple displays can also be positioned around the helm or vessel when information needs to be viewed from different locations.

Check Network & Sensor Compatibility

Before adding a new SIMRAD marine instrument, confirm compatibility with your existing sensors, displays, engines, and onboard network. Consider NMEA 2000 connectivity and any additional sensors or networking components required to provide the data you want to display.
