i50-compatible 20 degree tilted depth sounder

I have an i50 standalone depth instrument onboard and am looking for a compatible depth sounder with a 20 degree built-in tilt. I've tried two separate P79 units, but my hull is too thick for them to operate reliably. I just ordered a "P19-20-FISO" depth sounder only to find that that unit has been discontinued and the unit the retailer sent me was a P319 with 0 degrees of tilt.

Is the B60 with 20 degrees of tilt compatible with the i50? Any other options? I'm open to anything that's compatible, bronze or plastic.

Would be very much obliged for any help! Thank you.

Good evening, I purchased a i50 Tridata to replace a 1998 Raydata ST70. I also bought a D244 Seatalk 3-way adapter to get power. Although the new (i50 boxed instrument only) no longer comes with a Seatalk to Seatalk ng cable, my marine store provided me with one. Installed i50 in dash with D244 adapter to connect my Seatalk Ray Autopilot to power i50 unit up. No problem, powered up and my 1998 depth transducer showed depth. Problem with speed and temp transducer.... connected as decribed in 4.4 Transducer connections and 3 dashes blank speed and blank after sea temp but depth works perfectly. Anything I missed? is the speed and depth transducer compatible? Not sure on speed / temp ducer model number... boat is a 1998 SeaRay 370 Sundancer, I'm the original owner. Everything worked until intermittent failure of the ST70 display last year followed by a blank screen mid season this year. Thanks in advance for your help.

Axiom 7 RV Software update 3.1.96 issue

I have an Axiom 7 RV that was running 3.0.60. I have an older BV744 transducer plugged directly into the Axiom using an adapter cable. I had no problems configuring it and getting it to work correctly. When I up dated the software to 3.1.96, I am having problems configuring the transducer. In the Sonar settings --> transducer page, it says "NONE" so I cannot set the Below Keel/Below Waterline/Below Transducer setting. I've tried selecting different transducer on initial set up, but that page always says "NONE" I am able to see the Sonar Display and depth, so I know it is recognizing the Transducer. I re-installed the older software 3.0.60 and the transducer page is displaying the info so I can configure the depth. So at this point in time, I'm stuck with the 3.0.60 version. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

tacktick t121 issue

I inherited a tacktick system with my boat and I hooked it all up the other day and the hull transmitter is not connecting to my display unit. I left it to charge overnight and nothing happened. I figured it was the battery so I took the hull transmitter apart and removed the batteries carefully and have 2 more on order now. The inside looked clean and in good shape, is there anything else that could potentially be causing the hull transmitter to act dead other than the batteries if it looks to be in good nick?

I have a Raymarine MFD E95, Model # E70021 running Lighthouse II V 19-03. I tried to load a file created in Voyage-planner V 1.3.0.11. The MFD gives me an error "Card in Use Retrieving Failed". Raymarine suggested I read the Constraint Post. I have read the post and gone through my WP list to correct any constraints.

I am requesting a test load on this file. I want to make sure the file will load before I try loading it on my MFD.

Thanks

I know that Lighthouse III release for eS series is expected this year.
I use eS128 and wonder if after upgrade I will be able to use RealVision 3D sonar feature ?
I understand that I may have to switch to RV-[censored] transducer but can eS128 hardware associated with Lighthouse III perform necessary calculations to display 3D sonar ?

CP470 wired directly to power

Dealer wired CP470 to battery with a Raymarine TM275THW transducer connected. Boat out of the water half the day when tide is out. CP470 no loner seeing transducer. MFD turned off after each use so no power is supplied by Axiom MFDs. Did the transducer burn out since it was out of water part of the time. Dealer said they always wire the CP470 directly and not through a switch

I am using an Axiom MFD with v3.1.96 software and Navionics Platinum+ overlay. I there the option to be able to display the tide charts not just the current tide level. Is this a function of the Axiom units or of the Navionics software or is it just not available?

Installed new ACU-100 unit

I was struck by lighting and it took out my ACU-100 unit for the EV-1 wheel pilot. after replacing it I get the "NO PILOT" alarm. The ACU-100 shows solid green light. Also the p70 control head reads the compass. Until I send power to the new ACU-100 then it loses compass reading and I get the alarm. Any Ideas? Do I need a new seatalk backbone cable too? I even replaced the backbone and terminator.

I have 2 es series displays. Just installed a i50 tri data and it seems to be working OK - except the data is not showing up on the es displays - even when the i50 is selected in the data sources menu.

The connections are all over the new seatalk - and the other instruments seem to be showing up fine on the es displays.

Is there something I'm missing here?

Can't connect to internet alarm

I have an a95 MFD running Lighthouse 19. I have a router on board that connects to the internet when I'm at a marina and the MFD connects to that router and then on to the internet.
When I pull away from the marina I get an alarm (dialog box) telling me I can no longer access the internet (which is true). I click OK, the alarm goes away but then in about 15 - 30 seconds it comes back. I can repeat this cycle (alarm, OK, no alarm, alarm) indefinitely.
Is there a way to disable that alarm (I don't see it in the alarm manager)?
I don't remember getting that alarm before I upgraded to Lighthouse 19...is that a new "feature"?
Excepting for disconnecting from the router, is there any other way to avoid this alarm?

Troubleshooting E85001 Serial Data

August 20, 2017, 3:41 pm

I have an older boat with a Raymarine ST-60 instrument package, RN300 GPS, and RL70 Radar. Included in the package is an E85001 Seatalk / NMEA Interface box.

This has all been working until about a month ago, and I am trying to figure out where the problem is. The E85001 is used to connect the Radar at the nav station to the rest of the Seatalk network, and also to feed serial data to a laptop. The input to the laptop is via an USB-Serial Port adapter.

While on passage one day, the serial data to the laptop stopped. However, the Seatalk data to the Radar is still working. This tells me that the wiring on the Seatalk network from the instruments on the helm station, into the E85001 at the nav station, is OK.

I did suspect the rather inexpensive USB-Serial connector and/or the USB port on the computer. But I have swapped in a very reliable, high-quality serial port box, and tested with another laptop with a known/proven USB port, that is configured for the new serial port box. And I know that no software has changed on the navigation laptop. It is NEVER connected to the internet, and so gets no updates.

I can find no trouble-shooting information on the E85001.

None of the LED's on the side of the board are lit...not even the Seatalk one. though a picture I took of the device a year ago when documenting the wiring, the Seatalk light was lit. I do know that Seatalk data is going through that device, because the Radar display shows all the instrument data. Unplugging the Seatalk connector from the back of the Radar, which is directly wired to the Seatalk out connectors on the E85001 box, results in the GPS and Instrument data on the radar going to zero.

Is it possible that the E85001 has failed in such a way that the Seatalk data is still being passed through, but the RS-232 data is not? What exactly should I be testing for with a multimeter on the RS-232 side?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Heading Allignment

I have a question regarding heading alignment...

System consists of eS128, eS97, EV-200 autopilot, CP-470, RD424 HD radar and SR-150 XM weather receiver, all connected through STng network and Raynet via a HS5 network switch..

All devices have been updated to latest software release as of 8/19.

After installing all equipment and devices, my radar overlay lined up perfectly with Navionics chart data and heading line on chart lined up with visual observation, but heading reading was off by approx. 10 degrees when compared to magnetic compass (adjusted for variation and deviation), and to COG generated by GPS on all headings. I performed an "align to GPS" using the P70R control head, which was successful in that my COG and heading are now in alignment.

After performing the alignment, the radar overlay no longer matched the chart data, so I then used the radar heading offset until the chart data and radar overlay lined back up. My question through all of this is did I perform the proper procedures? Part of me believes that if the alignment (radar to chart) was correct in the first place, then maybe I should not have done the COG/Heading alignment procedure.

Troubleshooting E85001 PC/SeaTalk/NMEA 0183 Interface Module

Troubleshooting E85001 PC/SeaTalk/NMEA 0183 Interface Module

The E85001 can accept data from a single NMEA 0183 talker or PC running RayTech software. The E85001 can output NMEA 0183 data to a PC running RayTech software or up to 3 NMEA 0183 listeners.

The E85001 is designed function in one of two mutually exclusive modes:
- SeaTalk to NMEA 0183 bridge or RayTech mode. The default operational mode of the E85001 is SeaTalk to NMEA 0183 bridge. It will revert to this mode each time that it transitions from the powered OFF state to powered ON state. When the E85001 senses SeaTalk data, its SeaTalk status LED will be illuminated. Should the E85001 receive communications via its NMEA 0183 input port, then its NMEA LED will be illuminated.
- RayTech mode - If a PC running RayTech software has been interfaced to the RS232 and NMEA 0183 input ports of the E85001 and the RayTech software has been configured for SeaTalk (vs NMEA 0183) communications via the selected serial COM port, and the RayTech software completes a handshake with the E85001, then the RAYTECH LED will be illuminated. Upon successful completionof this handshake the E85001 will communicate with the PC running RayTech software and will transmit/receive SeaTalk data packets.

Should the SEATALK LED of the E85001 not be illuminated, then verify that all marine electronics have been powered ON. If so, and the problem persists, then voltage should be measured across the red and white SeaTalk terminals of the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter ... 12VDC should be measured if the SeaTalk bus is powered. Using an analog voltmeter, voltage should then be measured across the yellow and white SeaTalk terminals of the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter ... the meter's needle should pulse between +9 to +11VDC ... pulsing is indicative of SeaTalk communications on the SeaTalk bus. Should the measured voltages be present, then the E85001 would be deemed to have suffered a failure.

Raymarine retired the E85001 several years ago and this product is no longer available from Raymarine and can no longer be serviced by Raymarine's Product Repair Centers. Workarounds include interfacing a product's NMEA 0183 communications interfaced to the PC Serial Data Cable (strongly recommend first determining the list of NMEA 0183 sentence identifiers and the data transmitted within each of the supported sentences prior to doing so) or using a third party SeaTalk to NMEA 0183 / PC communications interface.
