Why Choose This Model?
For boaters who demand top-tier helm integration and display performance—but prefer to select their sonar/transducer system separately—this NSS 4-16 model delivers the premium display and processor hardware you want, without locking you into a built-in sonar. The expansive 16″ screen gives you room for split views (chart + radar, sonar + camera, etc.), and the high brightness/IPS panel ensures readability under bright sun or off-axis viewing. The network connectivity and customizable interface make it ideal for integration into a full electronics suite, and the sleek design elevates the look of your helm.

Ideal Use Cases:

• Offshore cruisers or sport-fishing boats installing high-end external sonar/radar modules
• Boaters upgrading from smaller chartplotters to a large format MFD for better situational awareness
• Vessel owners wanting a sleek helm aesthetic combined with powerful processing and networking capabilities

Installation & Integration Tips:

• Ensure you have at least one compatible sonar module if you need fish-finding functionality (this “No Sonar” version does not include an internal echosounder).
• Take advantage of the dual microSD slots to load additional charting regions or backup data cards—front access makes updates convenient.
• Use the custom key programming to assign your most-used functions (e.g., mark waypoint, toggle radar overlay) for quicker operation in dynamic conditions.
• Place the unit at a comfortable viewing/operating height in your helm layout—its large size demands good sight-lines and appropriate ventilation behind the bracket or panel cutout.

The Simrad NSS 4-16 MFD (No Sonar) is a premium 16″ multifunction display built to deliver unmatched speed, clarity and integration in a sleek helm package.

With its glass-to-edge design, lightning-fast Qualcomm 8-core processor, ultra-bright SolarMAX IPS screen and full system-network compatibility, it’s an ideal centerpiece for any serious marine electronics setup.

If you’re planning to build a high-performance radar/sonar/navigation suite and want maximum display size and flexibility, this unit offers the hardware foundation to get you there.
