I have connected my c90w to a seatalkng backbone. On the i70s when I search for GPS data (i.e. location or heading) in the data source menu, it says something along the lines of "no source for this data found" I know my connection is working because when I power down the c90w first, the i70s comes up with a "fix lost" warning. What do I need to do or is there a total incompatibility I've overlooked...

Thanks in advance,
Kevin

My Triton LTS 220 originally came from the factory with a glued-in Lowrance puck transducer. I have recently switched all of the electronics to Raymarine (Axiom 7, 9, and 12). Is it possible to use the existing transducer?

Hi,

Can the Em-Trak AIS be controlled by a c125?

Controlled as in toggling silent mode, monitoring AIS parameters, etc.

Thanks!

Adding Fishifinder features to hsb2 Pathfinder Series Chartplotters or hsb2 Pathfinder Series Radar Displays

The hsb2 Pathfinder Series Chartplotters and hsb2 Pathfinder Series Radar Displays have no internal fishfinder circuitry and their fishfinder features were dependent upon interfacing the display to a hsb2 Pathfinder Series Fishfinder Display or a compatible fishfinder sounder module which in turn has been interfaced to a compatible fishfinder transducer. In the case of hsb2 Pathfinder Series Chartplotters and hsb2 Pathfinder Series Radar Displays, the DSM250, DSM30, and DSM300 Digital Sounder Modules (DSMs) would have met this requirement. Unfortunately, each of these DSMs were retired some time ago, and may now only be available from the second hand market (recommend checking Internet auction sites (ebay, Craigs List, etc.) or Raymarine dealers who also perform equipment installations). Raymarine will not be introducing a replacement Digital Sounder Module which would support use with C-Series Classic MFDs and the hsb2 Pathfinder Series Displays.

The DSM250 would have been interfaced to a hsb2 Pathfinder Series Chartplotter or hsb2 Pathfinder Series Radar Display via an appropriate length of hsb Cable (1m (R55001), 3m (R55002), 6m (R55003), 10m (R55004), 20m (E55010)). Hsb2 networks must be terminated with a hsb2 Inline Termination Plug within the two devices forming the two end nodes of a hsb2 daisy chain. The hsb2 Inline Termination Plug must be removed from the hsb2 communications socket of devices within the middle of a hsb2 daisy chain.

The DSM30 and DSM300 would have been interfaced to a hsb2 Pathfinder Series Display via a cable assembly which would have been constructed from a R69081 3-Pin to 4-Pin hsb2 Adapter and an appropriate length of hsb cable. While limited inventory of hsb/hsb2 networking components were available at the time of this response, the R69081 3-Pin to 4-Pin hsb2 Adapter is no longer available from Raymarine.

I'm replacing a "shot" ST60 Wind with an i60 Wind and would like to also upgrade from my ST60 Speed and Depth at the same time, (LED's are not working in these two).

Research on the web and forum hasn't made me confident of what it'll take to get like functionality from the combination of an i50 Tridata and i60 Wind rather than my legacy three ST60 instruments.

Is it as simple as replacing three instruments with the i50 and i60 and attaching the two new ones with a SeaTalk cable? Does this SeaTalk connection require each instrument's second SeaTalk port have a terminator inserted? Are there any additional required components if I simply reuse my existing transducers for Speed and Depth and the existing Mast top sensor unit?

Thanks in advance for your assistance and any pointers to articles or FAQ's that I've overlooked or need to consult.

Sincerely,
Todd L.

I have a Dragonfly 7 Pro mounted in my boat without the transducer
for now and just using the chartplotter functions. I have a 21 foot Regal bowrider. Now I want mount the transducer to the transom, but have some questions first.

1. Can the cable be cut to pass though the transom so I only need to drill a small [censored] for the cable? Otherwise, I would need to drill a 7/8 inch [censored] to pass the connector through. I have good soldering skills to splice the cable back together after passing though. However, I want to get advice on whether the cut and splice will affect the operation of the transducer? I will need all to the 20 foot cable length to route it between the mounting location and the helm.

2. Where should I mount the transducer? I have attached a photo for reference. I was thinking the flat spot just to the left of the far right side bunk shown in the photo (behind right tie down strap). Is that a better location since it is flat rather than in the V portion of the hull closer the the speedometer pickup also shown in the photo? I am guessing the sonar footprint will be less impeded in the flat location?

3. So here is the strange question. Ideally I may want to mount the Dragonfly either in front of the captain's seat where it is now for some trips, or in front of the first mate's seat on the port side for other trips. I would wire two separate connectors to accomplish this. The power is easy. However the sonar cable would have to be routed with separate cables down the port side of the boat for the first mate location, verses starboard side for the captains location. So the question is: is it possible to either split the wire near the transom in the engine compartment, or install a connectors to switch between cables?

Thanks for any insights advice etc.

Detailed maps are only available on one of two networked MFDs
My sailboat is still equipped with its manufacturer installed electronics. The configuration includes two e95 networked thru seatalkHS. I updated the software to the latest revision of Lighthouse II (V19.03-00036). I also replace the micro-sd cartography card with a brand new Navionics platinum+ card. The master is defined on both MFD as the unit with the maps (was not changed since I bought the boat). The two MFDs do communicate, for example, trace, routes and waypoint saves on the second SD on the master are visible second MDF (the one not showing the detailed map).

The master offers 4 choices of maps: C-Map, Navionics, Sonar+ and Lighthouse. The second MFD only 3, Sonar+ are missing.

I don't know of the issue appeared when the software was upgraded, the maps were upgraded or before.

Good morning, first post for me, so it may be a bit long.I will admit I have trouble understanding this tech stuff.

Installed instruments all about 2002 vintage include, two transducers, one speed and temp, one depth connected to the st60 tridata, C80 mfd,Garmin gpsmap 942xs and a small white raymarine junction box. Tried to add a pic of a drawing I made of the wiring, but no luck, would not allow that type of file.

Can I connect from the st60 to the C80 and get a fish finder type display on the c80. If so how.
There are two sea talk ports on the tridata, one is used to feed the 12v power., the other is unused.
In the junction box are two cables in, one out to the C80 sea talk port.
The two in consist of one from a 12v source, and one from the GPS antenna on the arch....all appear to be wired correctly according to what I have seen and read.....y to y / r to r / b to b shielding there.
Can the trans that is there be connected to the Garmin somehow ?
Thanks in advance.

I am in the process of upgrading a 10 year old system that used the previously referenced radome, the system had a E80 chart plotter, Daisy chained ST 60 wind, depth, and speed instruments a Raymarine auto pilot along with a AIS 500. it was networked together with an Actisense NMEA0183 Data Multiplexor and a Raymarine NMEA0183 Multiplexer. It also has what appears to be two externally mounted RayStar130 GPS Receivers my guess is that one may be part of the AIS system. The boat was recently imported from Canada and the AIS was broadcasting the wrong information (boat was .21 miles long and 200 feet wide) so it's in for reprogramming to my new MMSI number, vessel name, contact information and corrected boat dimensions. The current VHF is an icom unit that is not hooked up and so the DSC function is not operational.

My replacement system is using a Raytalk ng backbone, some 5 way connectors. An Axiom Pro 12-S plotter, several I-70 instruments, a Quantum 2 Doppler radome, an Evolution auto pilot I would like to retain the ST60 instruments, the AIS500 and icom VHF. I have added a Raymarine SeaTalk1 to SeaTalkng converter kit. So far everything is taking to each other except the AIS which is still networked through the existing Raytalk1 system, targets showed up on the E80 but do not on the Axiom Pro. The auto pilot is on backorder from Westmarine, once it arrives I'll add it and the AIS to the ng backbone.

Three questions;
1. after that can I ditch the existing Actisense NMEA0183 Data Multiplexor and a Raymarine NMEA0183 or should I connect the icom to the 0813 network and keep the Multiplexer's?
2. How do I wire the VHF so DSC is functional?
3. is the external GPS receiver still necessary?

Hi All

Can you please advise. We fish out of the Gold Coast Australia sport fish, deep drop and hit the shallow reefs (24 to 50 fathoms) so we are fishing water from 100m to 1100m in depth.
I am looking for good all rounder and believe the Axiom Pro would best suit my needs, my boat is only 7m and plate alloy so the below transducers have been recommended;
RV-100 transducer(in shore only)
SS175L transducer
SS175H-W transducer
Y cables to suit

After looking for the Sonar specs i couldn’t find full details on the “in built cp470”. The install manual states the unit to have 1x 50 kHz low and 1x 200kHZ high?

However the CP470 CHIRP Sonar specs are Dual CHIRP from 25 to 250kHz

Is this right or does the axiom pro have Dual CHIRP from 25 to 250kHz capacity?

Sorry to bombard you could you also please confirm the next question.

I believe the axiom pro will only ping one transducer then the next at 1kw so low kHZ returns in deep water may be slow? Is this the same for the cp470? ( I know the cp570 has full separation and can ping 2 transducers at the same time at full power)

Can you please confirm and advise

Thanks heaps Michael

I installed a new Axiom 12 and replaced my E80. Also a new Quantum. All works great... GPS, Radar, old sounder depth. Now I want to hook up my VHF to have the DSC distress linked to my Axiom 12 GPS. Can I install my current Standard Horizon Eclipse with DSC through my SeaTalkhs? Or do you have any suggestions. Thanks so much for the support!!!

Hi there... Need some help on this one please. Trying to interface the ST2000+ with the i60. All I have are the cables that came with the i60 and the D179 Seatalk male round to bare ends that I ordered and ebay that I'm now questioning if it was the right purchase.

I believe the i60 comes with an Seatalk ng to Seatalk adapter. That one has a flat plug at the Seatalk end. How can I interface this Seatalk flat plug with the D179 male round, which I need to use as my tiller is 8 feet away? Can I cut off the male round and flat plug fittings and heat shrink the yellow wires together and then take the +12 V and 0 V (Red and Grey) from the adapter cable to my busbar? Or is there a better way to do this? I want to try and avoid ordering the converter kit as it's a little expensive for this one application.

Thanks! Mark

Hi,

I have a mono SL70RC Plus Chartplotter (possibly SL70MRC) linked to what i think is the larger SL80RC Plus plotter.

Please can someone tell me what "Series" these plotters are when it comes to searching for legacy product support on the Raymarine website?

Also please can someone advise me as to the file format of the routes which are on the user data card? Are they "'fsh" or some other type?

Will the plotter accept any other format of user data route or waypoint file?

Thanks

Derek

Hi,
I currently have a S1 autopilot computer connected to a C90W MFD and ST60+ instruments via Seatalk1. Heading information is provided to the system via a NMEA0183 compass wired directly to the autopilot. There is no gyro in the system currently.

I have the following questions about replacing the NMEA0183 compass with a modern SeatalkNG/NMEA2000 sensor pack (Raymarine EV-1 or equivalent):
1) If I connect the compass to the C90W via SeatalkNG, will the autopilot receive the heading information from the C90W via Seatalk1? Alternatively, could I connect the autopilot to the SeatalkNG network via a Seatalk1-SeatalkNG adapter to receive this info?
2) Is the S1 autopilot capable of receiving gyroscopic rate information via Seatalk or NMEA0183, or is the only method of enabling this functionality to use a gyroscopic sensor wired directly to the corresponding input on the computer?

Thanks,
Steve

Hello,

C80, GPS 125, Seatalk1

C80 displays COG, SOG and position from GPS, but we receive system alarms for a long time for "no heading". Usually, this behavior stops after a few hours. Intermittently, the C80 receives heading information and the alarms stop, but they can continue for a day on occasion.

Is this a failing GPS? Since we're getting other GPS info, I assume that wiring is OK.

Ideas? Is the GPS worth repairing or should we get another?
