via the NMEA 0183 standard, provided a suitable interface is used.
Seatalkng
SeaTalkng (Next Generation) is an enhanced protocol for connection
of compatible marine instruments and equipment. It replaces the
older SeaTalk and SeaTalk2 protocols.
SeaTalkng utilizes a single backbone to which compatible
instruments connect using a spur. Data and power are carried within
the backbone. Devices that have a low draw can be powered from
the network, although high current equipment will need to have a
separate power connection.
SeaTalkng is a proprietary extension to NMEA 2000 and the proven
CAN bus technology. Compatible NMEA 2000 and SeaTalk /
SeaTalk2 devices can also be connected using the appropriate
interfaces or adaptor cables as required.
NMEA 2000
NMEA 2000 offers significant improvements over NMEA 0183, most
notably in speed and connectivity. Up to 50 units can simultaneously
transmit and receive on a single physical bus at any one time,
with each node being physically addressable. The standard

Location and mounting 29

4.1 Site Requirements • The pilot controller should be situated at least 0.8 m from an
engine, compass, high current power cables, or any magnetic
device.
> 0.8m
(2ft 6in)
D12031-1
Site requirements for the p70 / p70r Pilot controller are as follows:
• There should be no obstacle between the user and the pilot
controller.

4.2 Selecting a location Select a location that is far enough away from devices that
may cause interference, such as motors, generators and radio
transmitters/receivers.
General location requirements
• Magnetic compass
When selecting a location for your display it is important to consider
a number of factors. Select a location that is at least 3 ft (1 m) away from a magnetic
compass.
Key factors which can affect product performance are:
• Power supply
• Ventilation Select a location that is as close as possible to the boat’s DC

• Mounting surface. Viewing angle

Ensure equipment is adequately supported on a secure surface.
Do not mount units or cut holes in places which may damage the
structure of the vessel.
• Cable entry 80° 80° 80°
Ensure the unit is mounted in a location which allows proper
routing and connection of cables:
– Minimum bend radius of 100 mm (3.94 in) unless otherwise
stated.

– Use cable supports to prevent stress on connectors.
• Water ingress
The display is suitable for mounting both above and below decks.
It is waterproof to IPX6 standard. Although the unit is waterproof, D12062-1
it is good practice to locate it in a protected area away from

prolonged and direct exposure to rain and salt spray. Note: The angles are provided for a contrast ratio of equal to

1. Check the selected location for the unit. A clear, flat area with
suitable clearance behind the panel, is required.
2. Fix the appropriate cutting template supplied with the product, to
the selected location, using masking or self-adhesive tape.
3. Using a suitable hole saw, make a pilot holes in each corner of
the cut-out area.
4. Using a suitable saw, cut along the inside edge of the cut-out line.
5. Ensure that the unit fits into the removed area and then file
around the cut edge until smooth.
6. Drill four holes as indicated on the template to accept the
securing screws.
7. Peel the backing off of the gasket, and place the adhesive side of
the gasket onto the display unit and press firmly onto the flange.
Front bezel Important: Use care when removing the bezel. Do not use any
tools to lever the bezel, doing so may cause damage.
Removing the front bezel
1. Using your fingers pull the bezel away from the unit at the top

importance to set the hard over time, to ensure accurate autopilot
operation. To do this:

Warning: Seatrial calibration

Ensure you have sufficient sea room for calibration.
The seatrial calibration maneuvers require a clear,
familiar area of water. Ensure you are not likely to
collide with any vessel or other obstruction during
calibration.
Warning: Maintain sensible speeds

The autopilot may make unexpected turns.
Calibrating the compass

Before you can use your autopilot you need to do some open water
checks. The water must be calm, with light or no wind. Leave plenty
of room to maneuver.

3. When the compass has been calibrated, a message will be

15 degrees you will need to abort the calibration process and
resite the compass further away from metal items, then repeat
the calibration process. If you still find a deviation of more than
15 degrees, contact your Raymarine dealer for advice. If the
deviation is within acceptable limits, press CONTINUE.

Aligning compass to GPS
Note: Systems without a GPS will skip this section and go
straight to Manual compass alignment.
If your system has a GPS connected to your data network (SeaTalk,

while you steer to a known magnetic heading. This step provides a
rough alignment and minimizes the amount of compass fine tuning
required.

5.8 Checking autopilot operation Item Description
After completing calibration, check the basic autopilot operation, 1. Rudder gain too low
as follows: 2. Rudder gain too High
1. Steer onto a compass heading and hold a steady course at
normal cruising speed. If necessary, steer the vessel manually 3. Correct rudder gain
for a short time to check how the vessel steers.
1. Ensure you have set the autopilot response to level 5.
2. Ensure it is safe to engage the autopilot, then press AUTO

4. Press STANDBY to return to manual steering. 3. Press AUTO to enter Auto mode, then alter course by 40°:
• This course change should result in a crisp turn followed by
Checking rudder gain an overshoot of no more than 5°, If the rudder gain is adjusted
correctly.
To determine whether the rudder gain is set correctly, carry out the
following test: • If the course change causes a distinct overshoot (more than
5°) and/or there is a distinct ‘S’ in the course the rudder gain
is too high.
• If the vessel’s performance is sluggish and it takes a long
time to make the 40° turn, with no overshoot the rudder gain
1 is too low.
If necessary, adjust the rudder gain.
2
Checking counter rudder

3
Counter rudder is the amount of rudder your autopilot applies to
try to prevent your vessel from veering off course. Higher counter
D12107-1 rudder settings result in more rudder being applied.
To check the counter rudder setting:
1. Ensure you have set the autopilot response to level 5.
2. Drive your vessel at a typical cruising speed in clear water.
System checks 45
3. Press AUTO to switch the autopilot to Auto mode, then make a
90° course change:
• When rudder gain and counter rudder are both set correctly,
the vessel performs a smooth continuous turn with minimal
overshoot.
• If the counter rudder is too low, the vessel will still overshoot.
• If counter rudder is too high, the vessel will ‘fight’ the turn and
make a series of short, sharp turns. This results in a very
‘mechanical’ feel as the vessel changes course.
If necessary, adjust the counter rudder.
Rudder damping
If the autopilot is ‘hunting’, i.e. continuously moving the steering
backwards and forwards by small amounts, increase the rudder
damping setting.
AutoTrim settings
AutoTrim determines how quickly the autopilot applies ‘standing
helm’ to correct for trim changes, caused, for example, by changes
in the wind load on the superstructure, or an imbalance of engines.
Increasing the AutoTrim level reduces the time the autopilot takes
to return to the correct course, but makes the vessel less stable.
If the autopilot:
• Gives unstable course keeping and the vessel ‘snakes’ around
the desired course, decrease the AutoTrim level.
• Hangs off course for excessive periods of time, increase the
AutoTrim level.
