Raymarine is showcasing the new i40, i50 and i60 instruments at Southampton International Boat Show. Raymarine says it is expanding its new look to encompass dedicated wind instruments, monochrome displays and compact formats, Raymarine is now able to offer the complete choice of instruments for all types of boating.
The new i50 and i60 instruments have been designed to complement the all-new Raymarine c and e Series MFDs (multifunctional displays). These dedicated-function instruments are the perfect solution for smaller power boats, yachts and rigid inflatables, we're told. The i50 range consists of three digital monochrome displays; speed and depth displays with extra-large digits and a multi-line tridata unit.
Designed primarily for the sailboater, i60 displays cover wind and close-hauled wind options in analogue and digital formats. With excellent viewing angles for both day and night conditions and simple, push-button controls, the i50 and i60 instruments are extremely easy to see and use. They are also very simple to install thanks to the front-mount design.
New i40 instruments also complement the new Raymarine look; this extra-compact format has large-digit displays for smaller powerboats, yachts and RIBs. These space-saving displays are powerful SeaTalk instruments that offer full integration with Raymarine autopilots and navigation equipment and can be surface or trunnion mounted.
Depth, speed, and wind displays have extra-large (28mm max) digits and razor sharp LCDs, and there is also a bi-data display available for the smallest helm space. The easy-to-use i40 instruments have outstanding visibility in all lighting conditions.
The new Raymarine instruments will be available in late October 2012.
