When it comes to enhancing your boating experience, having the right equipment can make all the difference. One of the best upgrades you can make to your boat's display system is adding the NBT Marine Battleship Screen. These cutting-edge displays, available in **16"**, **18"**, and **22"** models, provide crystal-clear visuals that give you superior clarity on the water. Whether you’re navigating tricky waters or trying to locate the perfect fishing spot, these screens ensure you see everything in detail.
But before you dive in and make your purchase, here’s everything you need to know about these powerful screens.
1. It’s Just a Screen – No Built-in Fish Finder
First and foremost, the **NBT Marine Battleship Screen** is a display-only unit. This means it doesn’t have a built-in fish finder or sonar system. Instead, it mirrors the data from your existing fish finder or chartplotter, offering you a larger, more detailed view of the information.
If you already have a high-quality fish finder or sonar, the NBT Battleship screen is the perfect addition to get more out of your current system without needing to overhaul it. But, remember, it won’t function as a standalone unit – you need to have another device feeding it data.

2. Wide Compatibility
The versatility of the NBT Marine Battleship is one of its best features. It seamlessly integrates with a variety of popular fish finders, allowing you to use it with your current setup. Here’s a list of systems that the NBT Battleship works with:- GARMIN 8700
- GARMIN 8610 8410 (XSV) or NON - some limitations
- GARMIN 8612 8412 (XSV) or NON
- GARMIN 8616 8416 (XSV) or NON
- GARMIN 1243 (XSV) or NON - some Limitations
- GARMIN 1643 (XSV) or NON - some Limitations
This makes it a versatile option that can easily integrate with most of your current systems.

3. Compatibility Caution – Not Compatible with ECHOMAP Series
While the NBT Marine Battleship works with several popular systems, there are a few that it’s not compatible with. One key thing to note is that it **won’t work with the Garmin ECHOMAP series**. If you’re currently using an ECHOMAP device, you’ll need to explore other options, as the NBT screen won’t be able to mirror data from those systems.
Â
4. Not Compatible with GLS10 Livescope Black Box
Another important note for Garmin users: the **NBT Battleship Unit cannot connect to the GLS10 Livescope Black Box**. So, if you’re using Garmin’s Livescope system, you won’t be able to use this screen as an expansion for that setup.
