More raymarine woes.....

[harvey38]

I have a Raymarine Tridata that I am going to remove and replace with an I40 depth instrument. I swapped over the power and depth transducer to the i40 and briefly (30 seconds), it showed the depth.

The i40 depth then showed three - - -

Transferred the transducer connections back to the Tridata and the depth reads correctly.

Can anyone shed any light on to what is going wrong?

Is you're transducer an 'in hull' type or through hull/transom mount type?

Found this which might be relevant?

Thanks for sharing but as the information still shows on the MFD fed by the STng backbone, I would have thought that the i40 would too would be able to just display the depth. Not sure if the other tridata on the upper helm also being plugged in would cause the issue but too difficult to get at to try.

How is your i40 connected to the STng backbone with the i40? Through a Seatalk to STng converter?

I wonder if it's just a case of needing to set the i40 as the Data Master and the other display as repeater? Section 6.3 of the i40 manual if not already done?

As acronym goes RTFM!

Spot on, thank you

Did I mention Albacombi, PGNs, MFDs and a plethora of other geeky stuff to confuse the hell out of me?

Out of all of the tens of thousands of pounds we have spent on Tolerance, at least she ain't powered by Volvo
