Unsurpassed sophistication from 3 smart buttons allow easy access to 9 pre-set pages of the most frequently required information providing 18 lines of essential data on speed and depth, wind conditions, course and heading.

What makes Hydra 2000 so powerful is its flexibility and expandability - Of course there is a secret behind this and the rest of the Hydra 2000 concept. It is Hydra 2000's powerful central processor, FastNet communications bus and new software embracing even more features. It simplifies operation and speeds calibration, automatically bringing together information from a range of sensors. This data is computed and transmitted via the FastNet to FFD's (Full Function Displays), 20/20's (single function, large digit displays) and Classic Analog Displays.

It need never grow old - B&G's FastNet communication bus, introduced over a decade ago is still the standard by which all others are judged. The real advantage of this is not only to new but also to existing Hydra owners. FastNet allows instant access to B&G's highly acclaimed sensors and the smart 'Power' behind Hydra's buttons - It is this ability to quickly transmit data from all sensors and to display consistent performance and navigational information that makes Hydra the clear leader.

A Very Bright Future
B&G systems are renowned worldwide for providing highly accurate and reliable information - equally B&G's large digit displays are renowned for their clarity (day and night) and viewability. That clarity and viewability is down to B&G's brilliant patented Hydralighting, a system many try to emulate but never succeed.

B&G have now made the best even better by producing an all new display lighting system that incorporates 'soft touch' control buttons.

The new displays and illuminated 'soft touch' control buttons have 3 levels of brightness coupled with the choice of red or green night-lighting.

This adds up to outstanding clarity day or night even under the most testing and difficult conditions.

Every winner in every top boating competition has made use of B&G. Around the cans or around the world. The B&G Hercules 2000; the definition of the serious racer. It makes sure you get the right information, at the right place, at the right time, using enhanced software to improve calibration.

The latest in instrument integration - h1000

h1000 is a complete departure from the conventional dedicated display unit approach and is designed to enable the user to access any information from any display - displays that are restricted to specific data such as Speed, Depth or Heading simply cannot do this. By utilsing a Single Display Head Design h1000 is able to access relevant information from FastNet2 - a data network that operates at speeds normally reserved only for high-end systems.

h1000 is fully menu driven with three button control - simple prompts in the language of your choice with minimal button presses will maximise your use of the h1000 system. The intuitive menu system means that simple use of an up and down scroll button to select pages or menu choices then confirmation of your choice with the enter button is all that is required. h1000 offers numerous features - however, we've designed the system in such a way that you can display what you want in the display format of your choice.

The latest FSTN dot-matrix technology gives the h1000 the ability to display data in numerous formats including composite data/graphics screens
