The Raymarine i50/i60 pack is a set of depth, speed and wind instruments, with the transducers to feed them. It includes a P319 through-hull depth transducer and a short arm wind transducer. The displays can be surface mounted, or fitted with an optional trunnion mount kit. The displays are compatible with SeaTalkng, NMEA2000 and SeaTalk networks, and a SeaTalkNG cabling kit is included for installation. Manufacturer part number T70584.
Our take
This suits a boat that needs depth, speed and wind readings in one package and already runs a SeaTalkng, NMEA2000 or SeaTalk network. It is a poor fit for anyone wanting a single instrument rather than a set. Its main limit is that network requirement, so a boat on other electronics will need something else.
From our buying guide
A wired sensor means a cable down the mast. A wireless one saves the cable, but puts a solar-charged battery aloft and needs a receiver below. Raymarine says working out true wind takes other sensors as well, such as boat speed and compass.
Check before you buy:
- The box has what connects it to your network, since not every masthead sensor plugs straight into an NMEA 2000 backbone.
- A wired sensor's cable reaches from the masthead to where it connects.
- You're happy looking after a wireless unit's battery. B&G recommends taking its WS320 down for winter and removing the battery.
