Re: Stus-List Ray marine AutoPilot and Garmin GPS

I strongly suspect this is a safety feature. If someone was on the bow doing the "Titanic" thing when a 90 degree course change happened automatically, they might get thrown off the boat. Generally, the "acknowledge" depends on the arrival alarm function in the navigator. My 15 year old Simrad

Hi Edd, I used to do that all the time with my ComNav autopilot. I would be very surprised if the new Raymarine was unable to do it also. Gary S/V High Maintenance ~~~_/)~~ On Wed, Nov 11, 2015 at 10:51 AM, Edd Schillay via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Listers, > >

Re: Stus-List Ray marine AutoPilot and Garmin GPS

Marek, Safety is always a concern. Truth is, I’d never use it inside of bays or channels. It’s more for long (3+ hours) out in the middle of the Sound. As someone mentioned, currents or waves might nudge the boat off course — the plotter would then just the bearing and I’d like the autopilot

Just need Sirius XM and you can overlay weather/current etc. All it takes is money! Joel On Wed, Nov 11, 2015 at 1:05 PM, Robert Boyer via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Wouldn't it be nice if we could overlay water current data (like from the > gulf stream) and weather data too? >

Re: Stus-List Ray marine AutoPilot and Garmin GPS

There is usually a way to "Goto waypoint" I did that in the early 2000's with my Garmin 262 and ST4000 autopilot. The autopilot (or GPS, I don't remeber) will ask for confirmation before switching to now waypoint. Ever since then, I always had GPS and Autopilots on my boats, but have never

Re: Stus-List Ray marine AutoPilot and Garmin GPS

I feel like it is probably possible. My Simrad J300X and AP22 will naturally steer the boat to a magnetic course. In addition I've configured it to talk to my Garmin 182c for GPS navigation. This provides compensation for set and drift. Even better is that I have it also configured to talk to

Listers, For my 50th Birthday (yikes!) next year, my wife has purchased a Raymarine EV200 Sailpack autopilot for the Enterprise. I can’t wait until Spring to do the install. Although I’ll be more than happy to just punch in a heading and let the boat drive itself, I was wondering if I could

Re: Stus-List Ray marine AutoPilot and Garmin GPS

Hi Edd, My Raymarine SPX-5 wheel pilot has a follow-route option. It gets that route via NMEA 1083 from my Garmin plotter. If that can do it, you can! One proviso is that I have to hit "acknowledge" at each waypoint arrival on the pilot controller in order for it to continue on to the next one.

Re: Stus-List Ray marine AutoPilot and Garmin GPS

Edd, Looks like the plotter is NMEA 0183 and the AP is NMEA 2000. You'll need an Actisense converter to translate the info - about $200. Or get an early 55th bDay present of a new plotter! Joel 35/3 Annapolis On Wed, Nov 11, 2015 at 11:18 AM, Tim Goodyear via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com>

Re: Stus-List Ray marine AutoPilot and Garmin GPS

Edd — Joel’s right, you’ll need some sort of NMEA2000/SeaTalkNG converter to NMEA0183 to get your Garmin plotter connected; and the Actisense would be a great choice. The new plotter would be an even greater choice… :^) — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C Landfall 38) --
