SailProof Marine Display 15.6" – IP67 Waterproof Touchscreen
The SailProof Marine Display 15.6" is a large-format, sunlight-readable remote cockpit display, designed to bring navigation, weather and performance data from the chart table directly into the cockpit. It is not a chartplotter or computer in its own right, but a high-brightness, waterproof touchscreen that mirrors your onboard PC or compatible navigation system.
With its generous 15.6" screen size, this display is ideal for yachts where charts, weather overlays, routing and performance data need to be clearly visible to multiple crew from different positions in the cockpit.
Designed for PC-Based Navigation & Onboard Systems
The SailProof Marine Display 15.6" is perfectly suited to sailors using PC-based navigation and performance software such as OpenCPN, Time Zero MaxSea, Adrena, Expedition, Coastal Explorer, PC Plotter and similar platforms.
Installed as a second screen connected to the computer at the chart table, it allows you to monitor charts and sailing data without leaving the cockpit or taking your eyes off the sea — a significant safety and usability advantage, particularly when sailing short-handed or offshore.
Large Sunlight-Readable Display with Auto Dimming
The 15.6" LCD panel delivers 1500 nits of brightness, ensuring excellent readability even in direct sunlight. A built-in ambient light sensor enables automatic dimming, allowing the display to adapt seamlessly from bright daylight to low-light and night sailing conditions.
With a minimum brightness of just 10 nits, the display remains usable at night without compromising night vision. A contrast ratio of 800:1 and wide 170° / 170° viewing angles ensure the screen remains clear and legible from across the cockpit.
Touchscreen Optimised for Marine Conditions
The capacitive touchscreen is designed specifically for real marine use and includes:
-
Anti-glare surface to reduce reflections
-
Wet-touch capability for use in rain or spray
-
A dedicated hardware button to disable the touch function
The ability to instantly switch off touch input is particularly valuable offshore or in rough conditions, preventing accidental inputs when waves or water strike the screen.
IP67 Waterproof Fixed Installation
With an IP67 waterproof rating, the SailProof Marine Display 15.6" offers a high level of protection against water ingress, including heavy spray, washdown and temporary immersion. This makes it suitable for exposed cockpit installations and demanding offshore sailing environments where reliability is critical.
Like the rest of the SailProof fixed display range, it is designed for permanent bulkhead or cockpit mounting, delivering a secure, professional installation that avoids the risks associated with portable tablets and loose devices on deck.
Wide Operating System & Device Compatibility
The display supports a broad range of operating systems, making integration into existing onboard systems straightforward:
-
Windows XP, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and 11
-
Linux
Video and touch input are handled via HDMI and USB-A, allowing easy connection to onboard PCs, mini-PCs or embedded systems. The HDMI input is also compatible with Garmin GPSMAP devices, enabling the display to be used as a large external chart display for compatible Garmin systems.
Marine-Grade Cable Options
Cables are not supplied as standard, allowing installations to be tailored to the yacht. Optional cable sets are available in 5-metre or 8-metre lengths, each featuring waterproof connections at the display end:
-
HDMI cable
-
USB-A cable (for touch functionality)
-
DC power cable
This approach simplifies clean, professional installations on larger yachts where longer cable runs are required.
