B&G Multifunction Displays
G'day mates, at Shotgun Marine Services we're the local experts sorting B&G multifunction displays right here in Port Macquarie, up and down the Mid North Coast NSW, and across New South Wales. We're fully authorised and accredited technicians for the whole B&G lineup—Zeus S/3/3S chartplotters, Vulcan series, and all the sailing-focused MFDs that give you the data you need when you're pushing hard or just cruising.
We're not some online shop flogging gear with add-to-cart. We kick off with a proper yarn about your boat—club racer, bluewater cruiser, performance cat, or even workboat—and only spec the right B&G MFD after checking your helm space, sunlight readability, existing network, and how you actually use the boat. No guesswork; it's about a setup that delivers clean, accurate data in the slop off the Mid North Coast without blinding you or dropping out mid-tack.
Why B&G MFDs Are a Top Pick for Aussie Sailors
B&G displays are built for sailing first—SailSteer pages, laylines, startline tools, true/apparent wind, polar performance, and seamless integration with H5000 processors, 20/20 HV displays, wireless controllers, and HALO radar. For Mid North Coast and NSW waters, that means better decisions in shifty breezes, clearer plotting around headlands and reefs, and less screen clutter when you're racing or long-distance cruising. High-brightness screens handle full sun, and the intuitive Zeus or Vulcan interfaces keep things simple even when it's blowing.
We've fitted and sailed these on heaps of local yachts—from club boats to offshore racers—and we know what holds up in the salt, UV, and those sudden southerlies around Port Macquarie.
How We Tackle a B&G MFD Project
We keep it straightforward:
- Quick yarn—phone or on the boat—spill the beans on your current setup, boat type, sailing style, any pain points.
- On-board check—measure helm space, check sunlight angles, inspect NMEA 2000 backbone, transducers, power, and compatibility.
- Diagnosis-led spec—we pick the right screen size (7–16"), Zeus or Vulcan model, brightness rating, and extras without overdoing it.
- Clean install—tidy cable runs, solid mounts, proper networking so wind, heading, AIS, radar, and instruments all talk nicely.
- Sea trial & commissioning—calibrate everything underway, test SailSteer/laylines in real breeze, fine-tune for local conditions.
- Ongoing support—faults, software updates, transducer tweaks—whatever keeps the data flowing.
Perfect for club racers wanting better starts, cruisers needing reliable nav, or commercial ops requiring uptime without the fluff.

- Zeus 3/3S upgrades or refits on performance yachts and cruisers

Frequently Asked Questions
What B&G MFD size suits my yacht in NSW?
Depends on your dash space, how much sun hits it, and what data you wanna see at a glance. We measure up and test visibility during the yarn—7–9" is beaut for smaller club boats, 12–16" for bigger cruisers or racers in New South Wales waters.
Do you install B&G MFDs on commercial or charter boats Mid North Coast?
Too right. We're into commercial marine electronics—charters, survey boats, work vessels all along the Mid North Coast NSW. These rigs need reliable nav and uptime, not fancy stuff that flakes out.
How long does a B&G MFD install take?
Simple single-screen swap? 1–2 days. Dual screens, full integration, radar hook-up and sea trial? 3–5 days tops. We work around your sailing roster or charters—no mucking you about.
Can new B&G MFDs work with my existing instruments or radar?
Most times yeah, mate—we're pros at marine electronics system integration. We keep your good gear (Triton, HALO, old NMEA) and get it all talking to the new Zeus or Vulcan without dramas.
Any warranty on B&G MFD installs?
Yep—our workmanship warranty plus B&G's manufacturer cover. As authorised blokes we sort warranty claims straight away—no runaround or excuses.
Will B&G displays handle the bright sun and rough stuff off Port Macquarie?
Bloody oath. High-brightness screens and tough builds handle full Aussie sun and the slop no worries—perfect for coastal racing, offshore cruising, or pushing through chop off Port Macquarie. We sea-trial it all to make sure the data stays clear when it counts.
