Common Concerns Answered
I prefer a color display for better readability. Does this unit offer that?
The Raymarine i40 Bidata features a monochrome LCD display with high contrast and red backlighting for excellent visibility, prioritizing essential data clarity over color graphics. For users requiring a color display, alternative models from Raymarine or other manufacturers are available.
My existing electronics use NMEA 2000. Is this unit compatible?
The i40 Bidata system utilizes Raymarine's proprietary SeaTalk networking protocol for integration with other Raymarine equipment. For NMEA 2000 connectivity with a mixed-brand electronics suite, an adapter or a different instrument display would be necessary.
Will I need to purchase transducers separately?
No, the Raymarine i40 Bidata Display System (E70145) includes both a low-profile thru-hull depth transducer (E26009) and a low-profile thru-hull speed and temperature transducer (E26008), providing a complete, integrated solution out of the box.
