Raymarine YachtSense Link Marine Mobile Router, 4G LTE, Dual-Band Wi-Fi, 8-32V, IPX6

Overview

The Raymarine E70640 is a YachtSense Link marine mobile router that brings 4G LTE, dock Wi-Fi, onboard Wi-Fi, RayNet Ethernet, GNSS positioning, and digital input/output channels into one onboard communications hub. It is made for boats that need a shared network for Axiom displays, tablets, phones, PCs, smart TVs, and other connected equipment while moving between the slip, coastal passages, fishing runs, and time at anchor.

The unit runs from an 8 V dc to 32 V dc supply range for 12 V and 24 V vessel systems, with 4 RayNet network ports and a SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 connection for integration with Raymarine electronics. It can use cellular, external Wi-Fi, or a wired WAN connection for internet access, then route that connection to devices on its Wi-Fi or Ethernet network.

Its housing is rated IPx6 and IPx7, with an operating temperature range from -25 degrees C to +55 degrees C. At 242.00 mm x 162.20 mm x 63.00 mm and 1.03 kg, it fits where a fixed network device belongs, such as a protected electronics area, helm console, or equipment locker with proper cable routing and ventilation.

Key features

• 4G LTE marine router with mobile broadband support, marina Wi-Fi connection, onboard Wi-Fi, wired WAN, RayNet Ethernet, and GNSS positioning.
• Dual Micro-SIM card slots help support cellular service plans when cruising across different coverage areas.
• 4 RayNet network ports allow direct network connection to compatible Raymarine devices.
• SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 connection supports integration with marine instrument and navigation networks.
• 4 digital input channels support onboard monitoring, and 4 digital output channels rated at 200 mA support low-voltage device control.
• GeoFence monitoring and low power mode support remote vessel awareness through the Raymarine mobile app, with subscription requirements where applicable.
• IPx6 and IPx7 ingress protection, shock and vibration resistance, and a -25 degrees C to +55 degrees C operating range suit fixed installation on boats.

Installation and setup

Setup can be handled through a web browser or a compatible Axiom display running LightHouse 4 version 4.0 or later. The router includes a web browser interface for configuration, so network settings, Wi-Fi access, and system behavior can be managed without removing the unit after installation.

The supplied 5-in-1 antenna handles GNSS, cellular, diversity, and dock WLAN functions with 5 m cables, which helps place the antenna where reception is more useful while keeping the router in a protected electronics location. The two supplied dipole antennas serve the onboard Wi-Fi network.

Connectivity and system integration

YachtSense Link works as the connection point between shore-side internet sources, cellular service, and the boat network. It can connect to dock WLAN on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, while the boat Wi-Fi access point operates on 2.4 GHz for onboard devices.

For Raymarine systems, the combination of RayNet ports and SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 support makes it useful on boats already running Axiom displays and connected instrumentation. It can also share internet access to Ethernet and Wi-Fi clients, which is helpful for chart updates, mobile devices, and networked equipment that needs online access while onboard.

Remote monitoring and onboard control

When paired with the Raymarine mobile app, the router supports remote access features such as vessel GeoFence alerts, viewing real-time instrument and navigation data, display mirroring, file transfers, LightHouse chart transfers, and control of registered digital switching input and output channels.

The digital channels are suited to low-voltage monitoring and control tasks such as checking device status or controlling supported onboard circuits. For higher-load equipment, installation should follow the vessel wiring plan and use proper switching hardware rather than treating the router outputs as direct power feeds.

Electrical and environmental fit

The 8 V dc to 32 V dc operating voltage range gives it room for typical 12 V and 24 V battery systems, including normal voltage variation during charging and engine operation. The supplied power cable includes an 8 A fitted fuse, which should be kept in the installation unless the vessel design requires equivalent circuit protection.

This router is a practical fit for owners who want a fixed communications and monitoring hub rather than a loose portable hotspot at the helm. It makes the most sense on boats with Raymarine networking already onboard, or on vessels where remote monitoring, mobile broadband, and a more organized onboard Wi-Fi network are part of the electronics plan.
