Marine Electronics

What are some essential marine electronics products?

With satellite services covering almost every corner of the globe, the sky is the limit for marine electronics product options. While some gear is essential or highly advised, other equipment is optional, with individual budget determining the extent of your marine electronics setup. However, there are three types of marine electronics that you should have on board.

1: Equipment for communication, such as a satellite radio

2: Equipment for navigation, such as a GPS chart plotter

3: Emergency signalling equipment, such as a 406 MHz EPIRB

A lot will depend on your boating style. Coastal boaters and day trippers who remain in sight of shore can get by with a mobile phone or iPad for checking weather and tides. Anglers will improve performance with chart plotting and fishfinder apps. For offshore cruisers, SSB radio and satellite communication devices are important. Serious offshore anglers who want to maximise their catch are often equipped with several fishfinders, SSB radios, long-range radar and satellite phones for ultimate global connectivity.
