Raymarine’s new generation of instrument and pilot display systems, designed for sail and powerboats over 12m (40 feet), is now available. The ST70 offers a new way of displaying and managing data, with a large 164 mm (6.5 inch) fully waterproof high-definition colour LCD display. The wide angle display is fully customisable, offering users the choice of 17 different configurations, with full analogue or digital screen views, or 6-window split screen options to combine digital and analogue presentations.

The ST70 is fully waterproof to IPX6 standard, making it ideal for mounting externally. The extra large display ensures it can be seen on a mast or bridge. It can be surface, flush or panel mounted, and the sunlight viewable display is further enhanced thanks to its backlighting options. Users can choose from red or white backlighting, and for additional clarity can select inverse text – white characters displayed on a black background; a number of other colour options are available.

With all the available room on the instrument face used for displaying data, the ST70 is operated using a dedicated remote control keypad. There are three options of keypad design, with a push button only pilot keypad for sailboats, a rotary pilot keypad for powerboats, and a combination push button and rotary keypad for instrument control.
