NavPod GP1170-63 SystemPod Pre-Cut f/Simrad NSS12/B&G Zeus Touch 12 & 2 inInstruments (3.6" Hole) f/9.5" Wide Guard

The NavPod GP1170-63 SystemPod Pre-Cut for Simrad NSS12/B&G Zeus Touch 12 and 2 Additional Instruments is a professional-grade instrument pod designed to consolidate multiple pieces of marine electronics into a single, integrated unit. Built for vessels running Simrad or B&G integrated navigation systems, this pre-cut pod eliminates the guesswork of custom fabrication and delivers a factory-precise 3.6-inch instrument cutout compatible with 9.5-inch guard width installations.

SystemPods from NavPod serve a specific purpose in bridge layout optimization: they reduce vertical stack height by mounting a chartplotter alongside complementary instruments—autopilot controllers, VHF microphone brackets, stereo controllers, or secondary monitoring devices—all within a single vertical footprint. The pre-cut design for the Simrad NSS12 and B&G Zeus Touch 12 ensures precise alignment and eliminates modification risk. This approach maintains clean cable routing and simplifies installation compared to individual bracket mounting, particularly valuable in retrofit scenarios or space-constrained helm stations.

Serious anglers and offshore operators benefit from consolidated instrument integration because it reduces clutter, improves ergonomic sightlines, and minimizes the number of mounting points needed on the console or pedestal. Weekend fishermen upgrading from single-unit electronics to modern multi-function displays will find this pod simplifies the transition. The 3.6-inch cutout specification is critical—it ensures compatibility with Simrad and B&G touchscreen units while allowing room for additional secondary instruments or controls, making the GP1170-63 a practical solution for vessels planning to expand their electronics package without a complete helm redesign.
