Best break down video of B&G

[@allisongarcia9112]

I agree 💯%

Having purchased B&G Zeus 3s with Halo, depth and wireless wind, I never got it to run in a sense I could trust the data. Sailing itself is a pretty simple thing if I learn the basics of it, which I did. Navigation, I thought would be simple as well using GPS and so on. Now having all the B&G equipment which is not running, I feel like an architect, has to draw a house, first time in AutoCad and 3D. It’s over complicated and I don’t know where people get all the information from to install and setup B&G equipment? If it needs about 20 years to learn, I don’t know if a have that time.

great to see the huge lag in the video as you click simple functions. b and g touch screens are difficult and frustrating to use and painfully slooooow! and im on my 3rd one!

[@John-ck1fd]

Really good explanations of Zeus functionality. Thanks.

Can you link to the other videos in this series about b&g? I can’t find them.

Tides and currents display info 1:16:00. Thank you for the detailed video Are you able to widen the time period the the tide amplitude graph (chart) can you shift or expand to look from 24 hrs to a 36 or 48! hour window. Cheers from Vancouver canada

How do you set up a mast rotation sensor in a Zeus 3? I have a B&G RF25 rudder angle sensor that is listed as usable as a mast rotation sensor on the B&G website. The B&G Zeus 3 installation manual says apparent wind can be compensated for using mast rotation and indicates on page 24 a sensor can be configured as a mast rotation sensor but when I try to configure the RF25 it won’t let me designate it as the mast rotation sensor.

What do you do when devices that are connected are showing on the MFD?

[@peacemaker7406]

Good video. The B&G bone connectors are so primitive vs simnet.

Hello, thank you for the video. Maybe you can help me here: I have a sailing boat with 3 B&G W12 screens installed. One of them doesn't get the detailed map (Navionics) as the 2 others get it well. The navionics is installed in one of the master screen slot. Do you have an idea why I can't receive the detailed map on the slave screen. I have checked that all 3 deplays are visible on the network. thank you for your help

[@BodhiBhagat]

Hello, a nice video indeed. I am wondering wether the more race specific webinar is still on the agenda. I would be most interested.

[@theliftedsailor]

Is the dst810 compatible with the h5000

[@RichieKeane]

Excellent presentation, just reduced the amount of gear I thought I needed! Since all the b&g site manual links are to simrad docs is it safe to say their equivalent kit will behave the same? Also you mixed the hydra with the triton and Zeus, does that mean you can use hydra sail CPU with triton auto pilot and the cheaper wind meter and get decent sail steer or do you need to have both hydra “boxes” Also if you have a full hydra 2000 system can you upgrade the n2000 back bone and only change the display and CPU?

[@Matee523]

How can you set that to see your route previously taken?

[@heikobange]

Very precise explanation 😊

[@ballyhoo48]

How do I remove fuel and oil from dashboard screen

[@pollygbr9500]

Do a long press on the data box you would like to change, then select the data type you would like to display from the list.

[@MrMilothedog]

I must be watching a different video? Once at the boat; the British guy is doing a terrible job of explaining/demonstrating. Doesn’t say what he is touching, when, and is moving way too fast. Should have someone filming what he is doing as well as info on the screen.
