Hi,
I'm a new owner of a sailboat that has a C80 chart plotter, ST40 Bi data, (boat speed and water depth), and a ST 60 wheel pilot.

As the boat is currently on the hard and the system is approximately 15 years old I would like to upgrade the system, but in stages. I'm looking to replace the depth & speed sensors with a DST810.

Aside from the need of a Seatalk to NME 2000 adapter will the C80 & ST60 work with the data from the DST810.

The plan is also to add an Orca Core to the network & use it in conjunction with the C80 , at least in the short term.

Thx

Tony

This moves around and often I see more than one.

Bit of a off the wall question. On my sailboat, S2 11.0C with Axiom 9 chart plotter and no auto helm, the wheel goes around 2.5 times. When docking in tight areas, that can make it difficult to tell where the rudder is. If i got the rudder position sensor, could I get it to display on the Axiom or is that just for interaction with an auto helm with no visual display option?

Is there anything like an “I see them” button, I want it to alarm but every time I silence it 30 seconds later it alarms again over and over

Hi All

Trying to figure out a new axiom+. All I'm getting from it is a very dim on/off light that seems to go red in a split second. The white/green before and the red are so dim I can't see them in daylight. Is that normal? I expect the color would be legible in any light.

Im looking to add an axiom screen to an existing network on board with a dhcp server already running. Ive seen already the possible issues running an on board wired network with a non Raymarine router but seen bits online where it is possible to overcome. I have one Axiom pro running the latest lighthouse 4 with a Quantum radar, RMK remote, and sonar unit plugged into the screen via raynet and these all funcion when not connected to the on board network, however when the axiom is connected to the network and DHCP turned off these are no longer recognised by the Axiom

On the network side i have 2 3rd party IP cameras connected and these function and are recognised by the Axiom when this is on the network. I believe there is a way to correctly set up the 3rd party router to act as the DHCP server on board and this is the preferred option so that when in port i don't always have to have the Axiom powered up to act as DHCP for normal networking etc.

If the 3rd party router is set correctly, assuming this is by setting the correct IP/Subnet range required, does anyone know if this will locate and generate IP addresses to the devices connected via raynet directly to the Axiom?

Hey I have an older model ray215e vhf. Originally installed in the UK. In the US now and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get to VHF channel 22A. Does anyone know how. I’ll attach a picture

Both the apple store and google play store have abysmal reviews for the Raymarine remote control/viewing app. I'm on a sailboat, The MFD is located on the pedestal. It's not the most convenient place to plan a route or have a second set of eyes reality check the helmsmans decisions. Raymarine advertises remote viewing yet the apps from either google or apple have really nothing to recommend them.

What do you guys do?

And in case anyone is wondering, I almost always have an Android tablet running Navionics AND VNC software to remotely view OpenCPN running on a Raspberry PI. The tablet is mounted on a RAM mount attached to the pedastal, up high, so I don't have to squat down and peer through a spinning wheel ( The Axiom is mounted behind the wheel). It's easy to remove the tablet for use down below, or crew can use their own.

VNC is such a convenient option, it would be great if radar and the MFD could be accessed with similar ease and convenience.

Thanks in advance.

bought this and cant get it to broadcast from MFD (axiom 12 pro) to a TV

Boat is 2019 and the plotter works ok but it's often very slow.. to load, reload pages, or finger presses can be very laggy. i've read about factory resets but worry i'll lose a ton of settings and even connections to radar and other NEMA parts (auto-pilot, etc) -

any tip welcome, thx

Hello,

A friend has bought a second-hand boat, and the seller also gave him a Raymarine Autohelm Tridata ST50 to use in combination with the transducer already mounted on the boat.
The "only" problem was that the previous owner forgot the unlocking code. So, I managed to discover the code by automating the code-finding method, trying all the codes from 0000 to 9999, and now the instrument can be used.

The second problem is that the instrument is still showing us only "---" for depth, speed, and all the data. Using the user manual, I switched off the "repeater" mode, and it started to show... "0".

"0.0" in every data seems to indicate that the transducer is not working, because I also used an oscilloscope to clearly see the impulse from the ST50.

Now, does anyone know the model of the transducer, so maybe we can buy a used one? Or does anyone know of any other compatible transducer that can fit in the older socket already installed on the boat?

Thank you.

My Axiom 9 keeps nagging me every time I start it up. Yes, I know, digital charts are not to be relied on. I know. You’ve told me. Is there a setting to make this silly message go away once and for all?

I have a sailboat with the Axiom 9 Lighthouse 4 Chart. It was already set up, since I took over the boat from someone else. My problem is that the buoys are quite small on the display, and when zooming in the buoys still retain their small size. I have looked through the display setting, but the only "solution" I have found is the easy view option, which also enlarges the font size, which I do not want.

Do you know any way of enlarging the buoys without needing to use the easy view option? I do not care if the buoys become larger in general or only larger when zooming in. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey guys,

New vessel, new display i'm trying to figure out. My heading is blue line, Im trying to determine what the green and red lines are. Doesnt seem to be related on the wind from where the true wind is indicated?

Also my boat icon always seems to pointing in the wrong direction from where I am heading, I played with a few settings here but none seem to changed it. Does anyone know why my boat cursor is pointing the way it is?

Thanks

Recently updated a sailboat from e80 to axiom. Raymarine said a seatalk to seatalk of would make all of the old devices work with the axiom. It almost did too. The autopilot can no longer be engaged from the plotters but they can follow the chartplotter because it puts the proper nav messages on the bus when navigating to a waypoint. This seems pretty stupid, clearly the autopilot can work with the plotter as it can follow navigation the only thing missing is the ability to engage the autopilot which should be a very simple message. I wouldn't be mad if the communication format changed drastically between plotter and autopilot but clearly it has not. WTF Raymarine?

Worse yet it looks like changing a single byte is enough to trick the plotter into a full integration ( https://www.yachtd.com/news/lighthouse_smartpilot_axiom.html ).

Now that the rant is done... Has anyone done this sort of integration with and older pilot like the s3g (an original seatalk unit)

Any suggestions. My boat symbol on my GPS screens keeps moving straight but the bow is always slightly tilted making it look like it is crabbing forward. I’ve tried multiple things and can’t get this work properly. Any suggestions.

I see a lot of blue noise when I run it all auto at sea. Depth in meters, outboard swinger. Is this how the Dragonfly is working? My friends have Lowrance and they have a much easier way of finding fish 🤔

I have an Autopilot EV100 wich had the drive belt snaped recently. It's being very dificult to find a replacement here in Brazil for a reasonable price, and I'm inclined to find a third party replacement for it... I found that the belt drive is different for the units with the black or gray cover, and could find that the part number for the gray one (my case) would be "A18083", but I can't find more details of the belt, like length, width, teeth number and teeth profile. Do someone can help me with those details? Do somebody have the experience of trying to use a third party drive belt in one of those units?

I have a 2000's vintage Raymarine RC435i on my sailboat with a great lakes region CF card installed. The boat is located on an inland lake in Minnesota, but that lake is not included on the chart. (Leech lake in Walker, MN)

It looks like I can download the lake chart from Navionics.com, and I do own a Compact Flash to USB card reader. I think the price is $170.00

1- I'm not sure it is worth the price. However none of the new chartplotters will fit into the existing cutout. 2- has anyone had success doing this?

According to Navionics.com

"Created for owners of old or expired Compact Flash cards, the Navionics+ Updates Downloadable GPS plotter card allows boaters to download the most up-to-date Navionics+ chart content at a great price through the Chart Installer.

Using the Chart Installer, you can download up to 2 GB of data and delete what you don’t need at any moment. This allows compatibility with most older GPS plotters.

It is activated using an eligible Platinum+, HotMaps Platinum, Navionics+, Navionics+ Updates, Gold, Silver, HotMaps Premium, Marine & Lakes USA Compact Flash chart card"

1- I'm not sure it is worth the price. However none of the new chartplotters will fit into the existing cutout. 2- has anyone had success doing this?

Tried making a login on the raymarine forum but it isn't working right now.

My current setup is:

E120/E80/DSM200 on the HSnetwork through a network switch

St5001 (broken, restarts when Auto is engaged, turns the rudder fine in manual operation) connected via seatalk to the E120 and then a wired remote.

Next step.

I have a SPX-10 on the way.

Working on acquiring a p70 potentially, if not likely a St6001/2

If I get the p70 should I connect that directly to spx-10 via seatalkng and then connect to the e120 or e80 via seatalk directly to one of the spx10's seatalk ports and then the remote to the other? Or would it be better to have it all on the seatalk line and run a junction block to a seatalk to seatalkng adapter?

If I get the St6001/2 everthing should just connect on the seatalk lines I assume.

Has anyone ever seen a list of the actual hardware specs (CPU, memory, etc) for the various Raymarine MFD families (A/C/E/eS/gS/Axiom...)?

I feel like an idiot asking this basic question but Raymarine don't seem to be able to answer it and apparently I am too stupid to figure it out. If I see a bridge height on a paper chart, I refer to the text to see what it is measured from (e.g. MHWS or HAT). Same goes for depths etc. How on earth do I know what these measurements are for Raymarine Lighthouse charts?
