Marine Equipment Designed for Convenience and Ease

By Nia Lawrence


Boating today isn't the tedious and daunting task it was in the old days, nor is it only for those who can afford it. Today's boats are built stronger, able to accommodate all kinds of necessary marine equipment, and affordable to most people. It is no wonder, therefore, why marine equipment has kept up and stepped up to modern challenges, built with the convenience and ease of sailors and seamen in mind. Whether you're into boating for business or recreational purposes, there's a piece of equipment built just for you.

An example of equipment that makes life easier for most seafarers are state-of-the-art multifunction displays that integrate major navigation functions in one system like radar, chartplotting, GPS and depth finding, to name a few, like the Raymarine E120. Programmed with a user-friendly interface that can easily be learned even by a beginner, its intuitive home screen allows you perfect control and customization flexibility for the best navigational experience. Losing control of your vessel is not an option when you have this MFD on board. And as far as getting accurate data is concerned, it ably screens out any false inputs that might compromise integrity from heavy rain, spray and other contaminants. Plus, its anti-glare optics and scratch-resistant touch screen assures you of nothing but totally reliable touch screen experience even under the most rugged conditions.

Multitasking, as you know it, has just gotten better with the advent of the Raymarine C90W as it allows you to handle any conceivable navigation scenario when you choose to go for full screen or for multiple wide screen window combinations of chart, radar, fishfinder and video options. View images in great and vivid detail with its optical bonding technology that improves contrast, makes colors more vibrant and allows everything to be viewed from a wide-angle perspective. With its larger and more brilliant displays, expanded networking and video integration, you will be able to get multiple information at a glance without compromising readability or accuracy. Effective engine monitoring and easy integration with 3rd party electronics also ensure that you don't experience any stalling at sea, as well as keeps you from veering too far off course as it ably controls autopilot functions from the chartplotter interface.

Yet another piece of equipment you need to have is one of the most powerful MFDs, the Raymarine E80. It gives you the most stunning and clearest views of the waters above and below, with its high-quality, Ultra Bright Sunlight Viewable display technology that gives the most vivid contrasts and enables you to read data under any ambient lighting conditions. With the wide viewing angles and great contrast that its 8.4" screen provides, you'll get nothing but vividly stunning chart, radar and fish finding details unlike any other. The best thing about this model is that you can virtually integrate it with any kind of CCTV cameras, infrared cameras and satellite TV receivers for all-around functionality you won't get from other brands of MFDs.

And last but certainly not the least, you have the Raymarine A57d chartplotter and fishfinder. As far as adaptability and flexibility is concerned, this is one piece of marine equipment you won't have any problems with, as it fits perfectly with most center consoles and open cockpits. It is built to keep up with trips around the world and make sure you don't lose your way with its preloaded Navionics cartography for Latin America, Oceania, Southern Asia (but excluding the coast of China), Africa and the Middle East. Easy to install, this model also keeps tripping incidents from happening by keeping your cables tidy and protected with its built-in cable management system and protective cable caps. Investing in quality marine equipment not only makes your boating trips easier, it also makes you feel safer and more confident, so enough of the skimping and go for the best today.
