On my Nordic Tug 37 I have a Raymarine E120 at lower station, Raymarine E80 on flybridge. I have done the latest software upgrade, I believe it version 5.96.....and there are no additional software updates available.

I am also using the Raymarine AIS250 receiver.

I would like to add an AIS transmitter to my set-up so I can transmit my boat details.

Can someone please help me define what equipment I need to purchase to upgrade these systems?

Can I swap out my AIS 250 with a unit that receives and transmits?

Can you provide installation advice too. Thank you

[CA] Displaying Queried Vessel's Name on DSC Position Report

I'm running Lighthouse V19.03 on an e125 and e97 MFD networked on a NMEA 2000 bus via an Actisense NGW-1-ISO converter to a Standard Horizon GX2150B VHF radio (DSC & AIS receiver). When I initiate a DSC position request for a vessel from the GX2150B, I am able to see the response on the MFD displayed with the MMSI number. I added vessels to the AIS "Buddy List" on the MFD. Apparently the DSC position report does not use the MMSI to Vessel Name lookup like the AIS function does. I have a third party that does display the vessel name using a similar lookup table.

Is this an oversight in the Lighthouse software?

Hi, will LH III be available for a-series, such as a98? The last software update for a98 was about a year ago. Is this product being discontinued/supported? We were originally told LH III would be available for a-series, but now I have heard it won't be - I hope LH II continues to be developed/supported/released if LH III is not coming out.
thx

[CA] Axiom sample screens displaying engine management data

I have a 2007 Sea Ray 310 Sundancer with the OEM-installed NorthStar 6000i, SmartCraft engines and Mercury SystemView SC5000 SmartCraft display.

I am interested in replacing this equipment with at least one Axiom 9 display. Because of the dated nature of the SC5000 SmartCraft display, I am considering removing it completely in favor of the SmartCraft NMEA gateway and using the helm space for a second MFD display. A current VesselView SmartCraft display (VV 7) is more expensive and as far as I can tell less functional than a second Axiom 9 display would be.

Are there any good screenshots of Axiom MFDs showing engine data obtained via NMEA2000? I'm curious about general layout, display format and that sort of thing. The value proposition of the Vessel View isn't great but it does do a good job of arranging and displaying engine data.

Question 1. Does SideVision and RealVision on the Axiom Pro RVX work while the boat is on full plane? How clear will the image be assuming the transducer(s) is installed correctly?

Question 2: Will the RV-200 series transducer produce a better picture while the boat is on full plane vs. the RV-100, assuming both transducers are installed correctly?

Thanks.

Are DownVision, SideVision, and RealVision3D supported when on plane?

Are DownVision, SideVision, and RealVision3D supported when on plane?

Traditional fishfinding sonars are generally designed to support fishfinding at trolling speeds. Similarly, DownVision, SideVision, and RealVision3D fishfinder sonar imaging require that the vessel be operating at trolling speeds. At higher speeds, the imaging from these sonar technologies may become stretched, distorted, and otherwise unusable.

As bottom tracking is desirable when operating at high planing speeds, conical sonar (ex. high CHIRP, 50kHz/200kHz sonar, 1kW CHIRP conical sonar) supported by a thru-hull or in-hull transducer is typically recommended. For ax8 and eSx8 MFDs, this is typically accomplished by interfacing the MFDs to a CP370 or CP470 which in turn has been interfaced to a compatible transducer. Raymarine has made this a bit easier for owners of Axiom DV MFDs and Axiom RV MFDs by offering Axiom Transducer Y-Cables permitting the MFD to additionally be interfaced to a compatible 50kHz/200kHz fishfinder transducer. Similarly, Axiom Pro RVX MFDs have a second transducer port, permitting the MFD to additionally be interfaced to a compatible 1kW CHIRP transducer or compatible 50kHz/200kHz transducer.

(DG) Raymarine Evolution EV-100 not strong enough, need an upgrade

Hi, I purchased an Raymarine Evolution EV-100 Wheel Autopilot Pack w/ P70s Control Head however after using it with bad weather I find out that this is not enough for my boat as it can't control it. I talked with a couple of sailors and they all agree that I should replace this with the hydraulic system that works directly on tiller plate instead of the steering wheel. My question is if I can use the ev-sensor and the P70s Control Head and only buy the hydraulic system. In that case, which one should I buy? My boat is a 33ft sailboat around 8 tons.
Thanks.

Selection of Autopilot for vessel of 8 tons displacement

The Control unit p70s or p70Rs and the EV1 sensor can be used with all variants of Evolution autopilot, the key is to match the drive unit to the steering system and then match the ACU to the drive unit selected.

In the case of a vessel of 8 tons, a wheel mounted autopilot is underspec'd for this application and although could be used as an auxiliary Autopilot when Blue water cruising, can only be used in Light winds and will quickly become overpowered especially when combined with heavy or disturbed seas.
Further details on Autopilot selection are available here

In the case of vessels of 8 tons, the choice of drive unit depends on the type of steering system installed.

If the primary steering system from the wheel to the rudder is mechanical, that is to say there are cables from the wheel to a quadrant secured to the rudder stock, or there are draglinks or rods connecting the wheel to the rudder stock, then a mechanical drive is the most suitable on most cases.

The key check here is to move the rudder by hand/ foot and check the steering wheel rotates freely. if it does, this indicates the steering system can be 'backdriven' and so a mechanical linear drive can be fitted, more details here . If the rudder cannot be moved and only turning the wheel will move it, then it is likely there is a gearbox in the steering system which is preventing this and an alternative solution possibly using a mechanical rotary drive and chain might be needed.

If the steering system can be backdriven, then based on your boat displacement, a Type 1 linear drive would be used, this is an electromechanical drive, (very efficient) which is mounted in the lazarette and securely mounted onto a solid platform and aluminium support base bonded into the structure of the hull of the boat and the other end attached to the rudder quadrant or a tiller bar pinned or keyed onto the rudderstock, (we do not advise drilling into the quadrant - advice from the steering gear manufacturers should be sought as to the best method of attachment - ideally we recommend the services of a professional shipwright).

If Hydraulic steering is already installed onboard, then click here for more information about choosing the correct size autopilot pump.

If a T1 mechanical drive or hydraulic pump is used, then an ACU200 will also be needed.

[CA] Ray 260 to E80 MFD - how to get AIS data to the E80

January 29, 2018, 5:46 pm

I hooked up my new 260 to my two station navigation system by replacing the wiring from my old Northstar VHF with the new Raymarine. The old VHF was wired into the Raymarine DX30 Smartpilot computer using the NMEA0183 block. I cut the wires and used the same configuration to wire in the Ray 260. I am able to feed GPS data to the Ray 260 using the wiring and choosing NMEA 0183 and high speed from the 260's communication configuration. The E80 MFD's still read "no AIS" despite having wired both NMEA IN and NMEA out to the DX30. The E80's are networked using a Seatalk HS Switch. Is there a way to make AIS work with NMEA 0183? Am I missing the procedure to configure the E80?

Alternatively should I plug a Seatalk NG cable from the 260 to the DX30 and use it as a bridge?

Seems like there should be a solution with the products I already own. It seems that other AIS enabled VHF radios would do the trick. The Ray 260 should do it too.

[CA] Linking Classic E120 system to EV 200

After successfully installing a new EV 200 auto pilot last year I didn't have much luck trying to interphase it to the older Path Finder displays I have onboard. With help from this forum I believe I had done everything right using the Sea Talk to Sea Talking converter, etc. OK, I give up.

I also have a second system onboard consisting of two E series MFD's that I guess I'm going to try to utilize this year instead. (for the record, I really preferred the Path Finders chart plotter over the E series. That's the only reason my first attempt was to link those with the new pilot)

My E Series system consists of a: E120 (used as a master) E80 (used as a repeater) DSM 300 fish finder, RS 125 GPS, SR100 weather and a SeaTalkhs network switch. Everything works great.

What is the correct procedure to share/ link what information my Classic E Series has with my new EV 200? I believe I have to use Raymarine cable A06061 and connect that to the E series Seatalk 2 port in the back of the unit. Does it matter if it is connected to the 120 master or the E80 repeater? I'm guessing master. And the other end, the white Seatalking connector, do I just plug that in to the EV 200 cabling backbone in a available white receptacle? I don't use that Seatalking converter for this set up, correct? Assuming this is all correct, is it ready to go as soon as I plug it in or do I have to go into the E Series menu and turn something on to make the Seatalking 2 port active (I thought I had read you had to do that somewhere) One final question, how do I handle powering the Seatalk 2/ Seatalking system? I also thought I had read the E series provides power thru the Seatalk 2 port but my EV 200 is already providing power to my Seatalking backbone?

Thanks - Walt

(DG) Replacing a 150ASG with an ACU-200 -- wiring questions

January 29, 2018, 7:58 am

I am planning to replace a legacy AP system (150ASG course computer) with an Evolution system. The spur connections for the EV sensor core, the new ACU200 and the p70Rs control head are all straightforward to me. What I am wondering is if I need to plan for any major wiring adjustments when I replace the existing 150ASG course computer with the new ACU200?

My existing 150ASG has the following connections:

1) Five fluxgate compass inputs (G,R, Y, B and a bare ground). I assume this connection will no longer be needed in the new system and the old fluxgate and wires can be removed.

2) Four rudder position sensor inputs (G, R, B, gray (screen)) which looks to be a match for the rudder position sensor inputs on the ACU200. Can my existing rudder position indicator simply be connected to the ACU200 with the same leads and re-used in the Evolution system?

3) Black and Red wires supplied to an Off Switch on the 150GAST. Do these wires connect to the Sleep input on the ACU200?

4) Two sets of Seatalk Wires that will be replaced with a spur cable from the ACU200 to the Seatalkng backbone.

5) Two 12v power leads and two Drive motor output leads which again look like they can be used as-is with the ACU200.

6) I notice a clutch input on the ACU200. If my existing Type 1 drive unit does not have a clutch and I am re-using that drive unit, I assume no new wiring is needed here?

Thanks in advance.

I will be installing two Axiom Pro RVX 12's that will be networked together along with installation of one RX-100. I would also like to install three Airmar B175's (L, M, and HW with temperature sensors). Can I hook up via a Y cable two of the B175's to one Axiom Pro RVX, and the third B175 to the second Axiom Pro RVX? How would that work? I would like to have functional use of the frequency ranges provided by the B175's (L, M, and HW). Is this practical? Thanks.

Some Class B AIS transceivers support broadcast of heading data

Does the AIS650 support this?

If so, then is the data source of heading information (a), (b) or both

[a] NMEA0183 HDT sentence
[b] STNG PGN127250 (heading) AND PGN127258 (Variation) e.g. from an EV1 and MFD respectively from which true heading may be derived.
