[CA] [CA11] Sailboat system help

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Eheim,

Q1. Would like to add the i70 wind /DST system (T70216) as well as the EV-100 wheel pilot (T70152). Wondering if there is any issues or concerns networking this all together?
A1. There shouldn't be. These items are all designed to be interfaced to one another via a powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone. As the resulting system will feature more than one source of depth data, it will be necessary to use the Data Sources feature of the i70 MFID to specify which source of depth data will be used by the system

Q2. Will the DST transducer interfere with the the real vision transducer?
A2. Negative.

Q3. Am I looking at the right components - desire is to have realvision sonar, wind, speed, and depth with autopilot.
A3. Assuming that a wheel pilot is the correct choice for a vessel of your size, then this equipment would be commonly recommended.

Q4. What data from this system will be available via the raymarine control or viewer apps?
A4. The RayControl and RayView apps are designed to remotely control the MFD and/or repeat the screen of the MFD and will correspondingly display whatever is currently displayed on the MFD's screen (except for IP video). Accordingly, should the MFD be configured to display data from your instruments, then this data will likewise be seen within the RayControl and RayView apps. As the requisite data for true wind, lay lines (the latter assumes that the polars for your vessel have been included within the latest available LightHouse 3 software), and advanced sailing features will be supported by the MFD and then likewise accessible / visible via the RayControl and RayView apps.

Q5. Also would like to consider a radar at some point but not critical at this point.
A5. I typically recommend the Quantum 2 radome to any customer considering a radome for a smaller vessel where the vessel is not being primarily used for salt water fishing.
