What is a typical 1370 layout for the B&G instruments?

Published on 04/14/2026

 

DIfferent sailing plans call for different levels of complexity and redundancy when it comes to navigation and instrument selection. Base packages of VHF/Autopilot/Chartplotter/Tridata (wind/speed/depth) can be fine for coastal cruising, however when going further afield, it's better to setup the boat up for improved safety, cruising comfort, with multiple screens, and some additional equipment. 

  • AIS transeivers are almost essential gear now, allowing other vessels to pinpoint your locaiton whilst alolowing you to see their location also. 
  • Radar comes into it own when in foggy conditions, night time sailing for picking up objects/vessels in the water. 
  • Dual/tripple chartplotters: Having a good screen at each helm really makes sense for all round visibilty with the option to then have a third screen at the forward facing nav desk. Often adding an autopilot control head at the nav station makes for easy control from inside the boat, perfect for bad weather / on watch sailing.

The attached diagram show the layout of the B&G system for Hull 1, "Supernatural". This boat is setup for a customer installed computer moniter at the interior navigation desk, connected to the port side B&G chartplotter via HDMI cable.
