Multifunction Displays (MFD) & Accessories

A Multifunction Display (MFD) is the central intelligence hub of a modern boat’s helm.¹ Unlike a standalone chartplotter, an MFD integrates multiple marine technologies—GPS, sonar, radar, autopilot, and engine data—into a single, networkable interface.

Anchor Express, we provide the latest MFD systems and the essential networking accessories required to build a fully integrated "glass bridge."

The Core MFD Ecosystem

Modern MFDs are designed to be "future-proof," allowing you to add peripherals as your needs grow.

• Garmin GPSMAP Series: Features the lightning-fast BlueNet network and 4K resolution on larger models (19" to 27").

• Raymarine Axiom 2 Pro: Combines a fast 6-core processor with HydroTough nano-coated glass that stays responsive even when splashed with saltwater.

Essential MFD Accessories

To turn a display into a complete navigation system, you need the right "plug-and-play" peripherals:

Choosing Your Display Size

• 7" to 9": Ideal for kayaks, center consoles, and secondary stations (like a flybridge).

• 10" to 12": The "sweet spot" for mid-sized cruisers, allowing for a 50/50 split-screen (e.g., Chart + Sonar).

• 15"+: Best for offshore vessels where you need to view Radar, Chart, and Sonar simultaneously.
