The latest electronics (and the energy to power them) to be installed on board

Onboard electronics are increasingly an essential part of the boating experience, both for navigation and for safety and comfort. With the technologies of 2025, however, the focus is also on the energy needed to power these instruments, reducing consumption and improving efficiency. Advanced batteries, high-performance solar panels, wind systems, and hybrid generators are transforming the possibilities for range on board, allowing boaters to use plotters, radar, communication systems, and monitoring tools without worrying about range. In this article, we take a look at what the latest electronics on boats and the most innovative energy solutions are for worry-free boating.
