Multifunction Displays by Raymarine E Series
When it comes to multifunction displays for navigation on the water, a lot of options and a lot of aspects need to be taken into consideration. With so many available systems, one may even at first feel overwhelmed by the amount of choices. However, for a tight and effective system that will get the job done and stand the test of time (conditions) two choices absolutely stand above the others: the Raymarine C Series models and the Raymarine E Series models. Here, we’re going to be exploring the benefits of the Raymarine E Series and taking a look at some of the differences between the E80 and E120.
The Raymarine E Series navigation methods utilize Raymarine’s exclusive Ultra-Bright Sunlight Viewable screen technology. This ensures excellent contrast and wide viewing angle. The display itself is completely customizable, and each page can be viewed with several windows or as full screen.
These systems can be merged with other E Series displays as components of a SeaTalkHS network, or can be viewed as stand-alone displays. The E Series models include 3D Navionics Platinum Plus chartplotting, radar, HD Digital fishfinder, Sirius satellite radio, and marine weather. Instrumentation and video applications are viewed in user-defined customizable pages.
As an included feature, these units support Raymarine’s exclusive SeaTalkHS network protocol. This enables sharing of radar, chartplotting, fishfinder, weather and navigation between E series units. With SeaTalk and SeaTalk2/SeaTalkNG, you’ll have no problem integrating either system with Raymarine instruments and autopilots. Additionally, industry standards NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 are supported so that 3rd party electronics are also easily integrated.
These units come equipped with 4 video input ports for easy aggregation with Raymarine marine cameras, CCTV cameras, satellite television, receivers, infrared cameras and more. Because of the simple-to-use multipage option, each video input can be viewed either full-screen or within a window alongside other navigation or weather displays. Also included is a VGA video output port for connection to remote monitors and entertainment systems. Affording extra control, there is an optional remote control keyboard useable.
Both units are built on a rugged aluminum chassis and waterproof to CFR46 standards. They include both a convenient trunion mounting bracket as well as a low-profile flush mounting kit for a clean, unobtrusive helm.
The Raymarine E80 kit comes with an owner’s manual, quick reference guide, full-face suncover, trunion mounting kit, flush mounting kit, NMEA input/output cable, power cable, SeaTalk/auxiliary alarm cable, SeaTalkhs network cable, and 4-channel composite video input cable.
The difference between these two models comes in size and, because of the size difference, price. The Raymarine E 80 is an 8. 4″ unit that will run the buyer about $3,200. The E120, by contrast, is a 12. 1″ model that is better suited for larger boats. This model sells for $4,600.
