SAILBOAT TECH: Full Raymarine installation [Ryan's Tech Corner #14]

[@andyinottawa651]

Hahaha very informative and funny. I think that's the happiest and most animated we've seen Ryan in ANY video. Well done both of you

[@armorguy1108]

Watching Ryan geek out on tech is a stupid amount of fun! :-) Thanks for sharing this.

[@wk6976]

Nice to see Sophie's good humour rubbing off on Ryan. Very informative.

[@ZPapaGeek]

Yes it is an 18 minute commercial but still fun! Never seen Ryan so animated!

[@dlabout]

Thank you SOOOOOooo much Ryan! I am in the middle of buying a 1991 Privilege 43 catamaran and I'm living with not one, but two e80's. This will make the upgrade easier to plan and execute! The real challenge will be the wait to get through the survey and move before I can start fixing her up! Thanks again!

[@kbeilers]

I’ve never seen Ryan so happy!!!! I loved the back in time skit he did. Awesome editing. Cheers!

[@chroniclesoftheblackhole]

This vid actually is Ryan's best. You can tell he was being super creative and having fun doing it. You've come a long way Ryan

[@appreciatelifeandmusic]

Thanks for an awesome tour Ryan and Sophie. We have a 2007 Raymarine - it still works but …. ! Time to think about change, which is daunting when you’re a pre-PC 73 year old! So your straightforward and simple explanation - with the enthusiastic human touch - made it all make sense. 👏👏👏🙏

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

My favorite video because it was so much fun and you didn't drag out the updating of your Equipment over several episodes!

[@jayschafer5385]

Hey. Great episode. Ryan is in his element. Congrats on the new gear!

[@EricSmith-lf6cz]

Why can't I give three thumps up to this post??!! I always love Ryan's technical corners and this was great. So glad you have all this new equipment, but I bet there were a few choice words while running cables that were not shared. Can't wait for the next episode. Love you guys!

[@gjaxson01]

I think that this was Ryan's best one yet. I laughed my butt off. We should see more of 2007 Ryan!

[@jamesgordon2289]

Ryan has become such a strong / entertaining on-screen personality. Its cool

[@AchikSarih]

Thank you very much, my brother, for this distinguished work that you did and introduced me to. I benefited a lot from you. You are a good man.❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@markph0204]

I watch a lot, I mean a LOT of sailing videos -- this one was both informative and interesting with a laugh or two. Nicely done! Just what I was looking for was more info on Raymarine today. Now to find that radar video you mentioned....

[@donrumph1]

What a great presentation for your new equipment. And a great sense of humor as well. Now it's time for the both of you to ENJOY!

[@mcouture8169]

When Ryan geeks out on electronics/wiring (and on a sailing vessel no less), I'm in heaven :-)

[@darrellstyner0001]

I've got basically the same boat with the same old electronics. It's really helpful to have the upgrade path so clearly explained and demonstrated. Smart move by @Raymarine to make you two ambassadors. I've got "next level tech" envy.

[@RyanSophieSailing]

Its cool stuff... and a major difference than before.

[@captrandy3307]

Congrats on getting the new Raymarine equipment. I love my Axiom and Quantum Radar. It works well with the 2008 vintage components, which I won't replace until they stop working. Having wireless lets me see the chart plotter/radar screen on a tablet from my bunk while I'm underway single handed. Using the radar at night is a game changer when sailing solo, and it uses very little power. Having the autopilot remote control is a great thing to have as well. Thanks for the video!

[@randymcmeekin1955]

Raymarine is so awesome.....great setup! Well done Ryan!

[@danielball5955]

This is my exact pending project, so grateful for this video. Need to upgrade all the electronics on my 1999 Catalina 42

[@richardherndon1541]

Absolutely the best Ryan video ever! First it was filled with really useful info (normal for Ryan) then it was entertaining and fun (not as normal)! Thank you so much for putting this together and showing us what is possible!

[@RyanSophieSailing]

Thanks so mich

[@puertola7186]

Damn it! This is my favorite episode so far! Thanks! And appreciate that Sophie chart of wires!

[@RyanSophieSailing]

Thanks!

LOVE RYAN!!! Great video guys. Sophie, you’re amazing and now we see the fantastic Ryan. We want MORE RYAN!

[@beckydesancha3164]

Ryan you are so smiley when you talk tech!! Great video you two!!

[@herbescobar4548]

Pretty cool - informative and funny!! Look out Sophie - Ryan is encroaching on your humor responsibility. Love the tech!!

[@peterfrebold]

..... laughing ..... from the guy that was not exactly over joyed when the camera was in his face .... well done Ryan and congrats on the new equipment and partnership .... thx for the share .. as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ....

[@richardp1522]

Tech time on Polar Seal the perfect mix of an SNL skit (1980's version) and Ryan's Master Class in boat technology. The schematic drawn on the back of a customs form vintage too funny. Raymarine equipment one amazing upgrade. Radar viewable on flat screen TV off the charts cool.

[@drewr34skyline18]

I really enjoyed that one. Great work guys

[@AssiToniful]

one of the best video's from you ever !!

[@feanor3876]

I love ryan's tech tuesday.

[@kevinsymonds9306]

Waited far too long for the return of Ryan's tech corner, damn man you aced it.

[@donfults1]

Bahahahahaha.... I always imagined Sophie got her sense of humour from her mom but I see now she undoubtedly got it from Ryan.... hehehehe. Congrats on the new gear!!!!

[@RyanSophieSailing]

Haha... thanks!

[@schmidtfjs]

Congrats! I'm a tech geek and I'm still intimidated! Fortunately, my Hobie Cat 16 does not need much in the line of electronics! 🤣. Smooth sailing you two!

[@albertofourie3294]

Ryan, you knocked it out of the park with your near Oscar worthy performance! You made the techie stuff look real easy or was it because of Sophie's network diagram?? 😂

[@ryanpotter4138]

Love the video, running the same setup on our Leopard, and learned a few things. Thanks

[@bettycamacho7084]

Just a few days ago, I asked our local Raymarine dealer for a quote on new chart plotter, auto pilot, and AIS. Even though they will do the installation, it's great to get this tutorial to have some idea of what they are doing.

[@RyanSophieSailing]

Amazing!

[@douglascorrigan1478]

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022

[@chrisbeckett5379]

Very cool update. I’m glad you did this Ryan because I’m planning a similar upgrade for my boat. My current equipment is outdated and needs upgrading before is cast off for Eastern Canada and beyond. I’m definitely going to seriously consider Raymarine.

[@Pires1954]

Super cool Ryan! Nice presentation. Very funny. I like to see Ryan 2007 .-)

[@327365hp]

Glad to see this pop up. Our C80 died last year so we upgraded to Axiom. Looking forward to your thoughts on the radar.

[@RyanSophieSailing]

Loving the radar so far... it is different than the digital for sure but I do like it.

[@radekdrayco]

Oh Wow, first video I have seen of yours, and you showed me exactly what I wanted to know about. All that beautiful technology! I cant wait to equip my sailboat with it. And you can operate your drone from one of the consoles!!?? Thats so awesome! Subscribed, looking forward to seeing more. Thank you.

[@stevelawrie9115]

Cool as!! cabling the boat, Ryan is going to love that!! That's right up there with fixing toilets!! :)

[@RyanSophieSailing]

I love cabling so so much. Actually we already hadst the cables in place so that part was easy

[@stevenplancich6449]

Glad to see Ryan got to “Upgrade/Replace” the Electronics👍 Sure “Stunk” on Last Passage☹️ Continue to Stay Safe & Enjoy😎

[@acampbell198]

Trying to teach myself NMEA 2K and marine electronics in general. We just bought a 2004 Hunter 44 Deck Salon and I assumed (remember that word starts w/ “ass” as in I am a jackass for assuming anything) that the new Garmin 942XS chart plotter was connected to all of the Raymarine instruments and auto pilot…not so much. After learning about NMEA 2K AND that all devices need to be connected by cables AND then realizing there is only a pwr cable going into the back of the Garmin AND that all of the Raymarine stuff on my boat is probably original to the boat and likely can’t even talk to the new chart plotter…my heart sank and I realized I had a lot to learn and a lot of work ahead of me. Thank you for the education. Only thing I’m fuzzy on is running cable. You showed a little bit on running the mast cable but not any of the other cables. I’m just wondering if you have any tricks/techniques on finding all the hardware that needs to be replaced, tracing cable runs and pulling new. What type of problems/opportunities did you run into. Thank you for the video!

[@hansenpansen18]

Nice and awesome video! I enjoyed it just watching it.

[@MadMarv.]

I absolutely love Ryan's Tech Corner!!!!! That level of geeky excitement is the same way I feel with any new computer equipment.

[@marcderveeuw]

Finally a tech corner again !

[@farmerjimbob67]

Just starting the exact same process, and now I understand it. Thank you 👍

[@GoWithTheFloat]

good video. Thanks for doing it. As you did, we just connected our Seatalk 1 to Seatalk NG, but went a bit farther because I have a Garmin Chartplotter, we connected the Seatalk NG to a NEMA 2000. It has an added unplanned advantage of independently powering both networks. so I have redundancy if one power source goes down. Well, thanks again.

[@berendvangeffen]

Hi, great episode. I use the alarms, or guard zones, a lot at sea. That can be of interest to others. ...and the Victron app

[@nautidad]

Epic! Now you can put the autopilot on the wind vane and tack like a boss. :)

[@ahhnatural212]

Great vid…so glad we found you!! We bought a boat that has RM dop quant2 in the box are getting ready to install the radar and have a few questions. We have axiom 12, all ports are taken up on the back, there is a Ethernet hub,iTC-5 but we don’t see a high speed switch. We can’t seem to find info on where to plug in the radar to test it to see if it works before we commit to installing on the mast. Love any advice or resources you may hav.

[@francismontocchio9910]

Great video, very informative and entertaining!! Thanks!

[@peterreynolds8146]

This I believe is a similar way of thinking that occurred in the past sometime in the music industry for electronic instruments and they called it MIDI. Musical Instrument Digital Interface. So Korg, Yamaha, Kawai etc all decided to sit down and work out a protocol that could communicate between different brands of electronic musical instruments. This freed up the choice of purchase so one could buy a drum machine by one brand maker and electronic keyboard by another brand maker and a wind synthesiser produced by different company that would all talk to each other nice and smoothly. Great video great presentation 11 out of 10.

[@RyanSophieSailing]

Its a good comparison

[@PK-mr2fm]

Excellent works 👍👍👍👍love this vid so much 😃

[@Sciolist]

Remembering how awkward Ryan used to be in front of camera at the start of the channel, and watching him now is really something.

[@RyanSophieSailing]

Thanks Sciolist.

[@byronwise101]

I'm getting ready to do the same thing on my Cat Morgan 440. I'm wondering where you mounted your iTC-5.

WOW! That is funny!! My favorite hobby is also routing cables! Especially in very difficult to reach cramped spaces, overcrowded cable conduits, narrow long pass-troughs, that take multiple of attempts to get it done: I love it!!

I just went through the same thing! Including a Quantum 2 radar. I even got a Standard Horizon GX1850G VHF that has an NMEA2000 port on the back. Everything is networked. You can use WiFi to connect the Axiom to the Radar. I had a hard time putting the cover back on the IC-5 and it looks like you did as well?

Really enjoyed your video and congratulations on the new electronics. I upgraded our Raymarine Electronics from the E90, ST70 edition that came with the B40 new in 2011. You will really like the displays, Quantum 2 Radar overlays with targets identified moving towards you and away from you and recent lighthouse upgrade including a great anchor alarm! Try to purchase the advanced operating instructions book...for me a more convenient way of looking things up vs. an electronic version....or maybe just showing my age... Happy Holidays!!

Thanks! I have this downloaded and it is a big big help

[@johnfolk5120]

Great video Ryan - How does the Axiom stream to the TV, where you showed the radar image? I'm planning a similar upgrade from 2007 era gear.

[@michaelhaardt5988]

Great video, keep it well for Ryan 2030. :) By then, you will talk about Seatalk NG as that old CAN based thing that could not even connect a radar directly and how now all is upgraded to Seatalk HS, the new ethernet based thing that's so fast, and those special Raymarine connectors. Which makes me wonder if that switch you mentioned is already Seatalk HS?

[@jeffgriglack9624]

Interesting and informative. Apparently, Raymarine decided to take an industry standard and make it proprietary. My boat currently has an old Raymarine speed/depth/temp sensor (actually Arimar sensor with Raymarine heads) speaking Seatalk, and I will get a Seatalk to NMEA 2000 converter so I can put in other equipment.

I am installing a backbone so I can connect my Auto Pilot, Radar Quantum 2 (doppler) and Axiom, but I do not understand why you chose to use the HS5 SeaTalkhs Network Switch as well as the Seatalk NG Backbone.
