Raymarine i50 Depth Instrument, 12V, IPX6, NMEA 2000 Compatible

Overview

The Raymarine i50 Depth is a dedicated depth instrument display for boats that need clear water-depth information at the helm, nav station, or cockpit. It shows real-time depth, minimum and maximum depth, and a depth trend indicator, with audible alarms for shallow water, deep water, and anchor watch use.

The display uses a high-contrast monochrome LCD with red backlighting and large digits for easier reading in daylight or at night. It runs on 12 V dc systems with a 10 V dc to 16 V dc operating range, draws less than 1 W in typical display-only use, and carries an IPx6 waterproof rating for exposed marine locations.

With a compact 110 mm x 115 mm x 44 mm footprint, the i50 Depth suits smaller powerboats, sailboats, yachts, and RIBs where panel space is limited but a dedicated depth readout still matters.

Key features

• Displays current depth plus minimum depth, maximum depth, and depth trend information.
• Audible alarms cover shallow water, deep water, and anchor watch situations.
• High-contrast monochrome LCD with red backlighting helps readability in bright sun and low-light running.
• SeaTalkng network-ready, with compatibility for NMEA 2000 and legacy SeaTalk systems when properly connected.
• Built-in depth transducer interface lets the display operate as a master depth instrument when connected to a suitable transducer.
• 12 V dc operation with a 10 V dc to 16 V dc operating range fits common onboard electrical systems.
• IPx6 waterproof rating supports use at exposed helm and cockpit locations.
• Surface mounting is supported, with an optional trunnion mounting kit available for installations that require bracket mounting.

Variants

The range is offered in two configurations: a display-only option and a pack that adds a through-hull depth transducer.

Both configurations are based on the i50 Depth instrument display. The pack configuration adds the P319 depth through-hull transducer for installations that need a new hull-mounted depth sensor.

• E70059: Display only. This configuration suits installations where a compatible depth transducer or network depth source is already in place.
• E70148: Pack with through-hull transducer. This configuration includes the i50 Depth display with a P319 depth through-hull transducer for a more complete new installation.

Installation and setup

The i50 Depth can be installed as a stand-alone depth display or added to a Raymarine instrument network. Its two SeaTalkng connections support network integration, while the transducer connection allows direct input from a compatible depth transducer.

The front-mounted format helps with panel installation, and the compact footprint is useful when replacing older instruments or fitting a new display into a crowded helm panel. Before installation, the available panel depth, power feed, network layout, and transducer location should be checked against the boat’s existing setup.

Use on board

This instrument is a practical match for skippers who want a dedicated depth readout without depending on a larger multifunction display for every glance at the water below the hull. It is especially useful for coastal cruising, anchoring, marina approaches, and shallow-water navigation where quick depth awareness matters.

For boats already using Raymarine instruments, the i50 Depth fits naturally into a mixed helm display layout and can share brightness control with compatible products for a cleaner night-running setup.
