HDS Gen2 Touch overview

The HDS-7, HDS-9, and HDS-12 Gen2 Touch multifunction displays are available with or without inbuilt sonar and structure scan. The ability to network over NMEA 2000 and ethernet allows access to data as well as control of numerous optional devices that can provide sonar, radar, audio entertainment, weather and even digital switching.

All displays are charting ready, with built-in GPS receiver and Insight cartography (region dependent) and with optional Navionics support via an SD card slot.

The displays may be mounted on to the vessel with the supplied surface mount bracket, or ush mounted in to the dash.

Power should be supplied at around 12V, but due to the variable nature of boat power systems, the displays are designed to operate on 10.8 V - 17 V.
