Safety Alerts
The Safety Alerts feature included with Zeus S can constantly monitor your course for dangerous chart objects no matter what your speed, zoom level, or view. Whether it’s a buoy, shallow water, rocks, or land Zeus S can warn you in advance.
CMAP® Discover X and Reveal X charts provide detailed chart data available at all times to Safety Alert
Alerts provide the sailor with awareness of potentially dangerous charted objects above and below the waterline
Automatically identify charted objects which are of concern, warning, or critical based on their relative time and distance
‘Harbor’ and ‘Offshore’ modes allow Zeus S to automatically change the time and range sensitivity based on the use
Ideal for use in unfamiliar waters or at night when visibility is reduced to identify dangerous objects.
Quick Race Entry
Quickly create a race route from the sorted list of waypoints
Easily add port and starboard rounding indicators
Intuitively add, remove or reorder a race route
Use the Race overview tool to brief your race crew with expected wind angles and estimated sailing time for each race leg to aid decision-making and sail selection
Start line
The powerful Zeus Start Line tool is now chart based to allow navigational awareness during the start procedure
Start line view, including laylines, favored end, tide set & rate, and True Wind Direction
The chart dynamically orientates and zooms to ensure the boat and start line are in view
Calculations are based on the yacht’s Bow Position via an offset distance for the GPS
Zeus S Internal GPS (or optional external options) provides precise position 10 times per second
Simple setup - set the port and starboard start line end positions via a button press (“ping”), waypoint, or cursor
Easily return to view the start line on the chart via an edge marker
Zeus S automatically captures your distance to the line when the race timer reaches zero
The following start line data is calculated and displayed:
Distance behind the line (boat lengths or meters)
Distance to port & starboard ends
Start line Bias to True Wind Direction
Bias advantage
Race Timer
Race Timer provides a flexible and integrated tool for starting and monitoring race duration
Quickly adjust the race timer start value
Set the race timer to countdown to a GPS-based start time. e.g. 1900h
The race timer control is available from networked devices
Start, Stop, Sync [to nearest minute] and Reset functions

Easily rotate the chart to aid understanding and make better decisions for your route or race course.
Single touch rotates between:
North up
Heading up
Course up (Course over Ground)
Target up (Waypoint)
Wind up (True Wind Direction)
Start line up
Laylines
B & G pioneered laylines in chart plotters with the original Zeus®. Zeus S laylines provide a powerful decision-aiding tool.
Overlay your target sailing angles, upwind or downwind, to your destination on the chart
Enable wind history to show a wind shift heat map, which intensifies the colors over time to show the history of true wind direction
Mini Inspect (short press) a layline to gain detailed target sailing angles, speed, SailingTime, and distances
Full Inspect provides detailed sailing information on current and opposite tacks
Apply tidal correction to layline calculations
Display laylines using actual data or input targets.
Time to Cursor
Have you ever wanted to know how long it will take to sail to a location on the chart or do you need to tell your race crew how long to go?
Simply place the cursor anywhere on the chart to show an estimated sailing time and distance information to the cursor position.
Ideal, when you’re navigating to a waypoint and you need to know the sailing time to a secondary position.
Tide Gauge
Need to know the state of the tide quickly? Zeus S provides at a glance tidal data
Graphically see a tidal histogram including current time indication in the instrument data bar
Choose between the automatic selection of the closest tidal station, or selecting a specific station
More detailed tidal data is available via the chart icons
Wind Plot

I've started using the mulcher I on several parcels of land 10 acres . I have grind down a couple of 14 inch stumps. Caution the mount bracket behind the mulcher motor exhaust gets extremely hot even with gloves on . But the unit so far seems to works very good it's well put together.
The Firminator G3 is s heavy duty quality machine. The discs worked extremely well and planting and culti-packing is very smooth and easy. Working with Dillon at Ripping It Outdoors was a very good experience and seamless transaction.
After spending way to much money for forest mulching services I discovered this wonderful machine. It's not a giant powerhouse forest mulcher, but it does everything a property owner needs to maintain a forested property. I wish I would have found it sooner.
The Firminator is well built and functions well. I am having some trouble while planting mixed size seeds. Next time out I’ll try setting it so only the smaller seeds drop out the open it up for the larger seeds.
easy buying process and great communication. Mulcher works great, easily clears overgrown brush and even mulched a 5" thick mulberry tree fairly easily. running it off of my old 331 bobcat with no problem powering the drum at all. Only small issue which isn't a big deal is that the supplied hoses are about 16" too short to operate a full range of motion.
Over all built well. I like it is all cast iron and metal and not plastic. Had to modify fertilizer disc mount to fit correctly, nothing major, a little grinding. I modified the center link hitch point to accommodate my John Deere quick hitch. Have yet to plant with it but I’m sure it will work perfect. Love the grease fittings everywhere. Reminds me of the old farm equipment I grew up on, and still use periodically.
My firminator RT was delivered in good condition in ND. I will be using it next week. I have a 45 HP John Deere tractor that is supposed to lift 2000 lb but really struggles to lift this 6 foot firminator RT. I will just have to use in as a two pass operation for now.
I do wish there was a better operating manual for this unit. Maybe that is something you can work on.
I will give you an update once I start using it in a few days.
Great piece of equipment. Performs far better than I expected. One piece of advice - if property is significantly overgrown, consider the tractor attachment first to bring down the over growth and then switch to the UTV attachment to maintain property. No complaints worked perfectly.
Put this on Kubota 900 with winch hookup. This thing is a beast (within reason). I named it ‘Homie”, cause Homie don’t play. It will take care of stuff up to about 2” in diameter. You still have to remember that this is NOT like the ones on a bobcat or larger machinery. It does have its limits. But all in all I am very satisfied with it. Now on to the good part! The staff at Ripping It are outstanding! Especially Kayla in the office. She has gone above and beyond on making sure everything went right, from ordering to questions about installation. This young lady would be of great value at ANY company ! Her knowledge and personality are like over the top. This is my first experience with Ripping It Outdoors and I can only say positive things about them. With all that being said, I do fill out reviews on things I buy, AND I give a honest review. If it’s bad then you will know it. But if it’s good, well I tell the truth ! Again Kayla, from the bottom of my heart, a great big THANK YOU for all your help and just talking to you. I feel like we’ve know each other for years!
TENT is easy to put up , material is tuff as told....only complaint is that i wish the bottom had about 3 to 4 inches overlap towards the inside so i could install a 2 x4 or something to help hold the tent down in high winds we have here in virginia thanks
Hi, my name is Ken. I’ve had a great experience with Ripping It Outdoors. I purchased a Forax Hp40 Mulcher for my mini excavator. Kayla Patterson is who I dealt with from the beginning until I received it at my house. She has been wonderful to work with and looking forward to working with her with any other orders I purchase. Kayla answered any questions I had and kept me updated throughout the whole process, can’t say it enough just a wonderful person to work with!!
These are great feeders if you don’t have any feral hogs but if the hogs tear off the wiring harness from the timer to the feeder motor, you’re disabled. Then, if you ask for help from Outback, they refer you to the dealer but really you’re on your own for parts and repairs.
I have three Outback feeders that work as designed. They’re 13 years old and have always served well but this feeder misses the mark by a very high margin. I’d NEVER buy this product again.
Feeders need to be dependable and this unit is not.
This is my first experience with Ripping It Outdoors. Fortunately I got Dillion as a representative and everything from sales to shipping was spot on..
Thanks Dillion for your help!!
The only thing is when hooking up the actuator on my ATV. The wire is long going to the plug in. What has happened in the past about this. Is their video showing the usage of the control?
