Raymarine i50 Tridata Display, 3-Line LCD, IPX6, SeaTalkng

Overview

The Raymarine E70060 is the i50 Tridata Display, a 12 V dc marine instrument that combines depth, speed, trip/log, sea surface temperature, and speed over ground in one three-line monochrome LCD. It gives a helm, cockpit, or secondary station the core underway numbers without taking up the space of separate depth and speed displays.

The display has a 110 mm wide by 115 mm high footprint with a 44 mm depth, IPX6 water resistance, red backlighting, and large push-button controls that are easy to use while the boat is moving. It runs on 10 V dc to 16 V dc, draws less than 1 W in typical display-only use, and can draw up to 2.4 W with a transducer connected.

SeaTalkng connections, SeaTalk compatibility, NMEA 2000 integration, and built-in transducer connections make it useful as either a primary instrument display with connected sensors or as a repeater that shows networked data. Speed over ground requires GPS data on the network.

Key features

• Three-line display shows depth, speed, and log or temperature data together for quick checks at the helm.
• High-contrast monochrome LCD with large digits and red backlighting for use in daylight and at night.
• Works with SeaTalkng networks and can be adapted for NMEA 2000 or older SeaTalk systems.
• Built-in depth and speed/temperature transducer interface reduces the need for a separate converter in many instrument layouts.
• 12 V dc operation with a 10 V dc to 16 V dc input range for typical small-boat electrical systems.
• IPX6 water resistance supports exposed cockpit and helm mounting where spray and washdowns are part of normal use.
• Same compact 110 mm by 115 mm front footprint used across many Raymarine instrument installations, which helps when refitting older displays.
• Local and group dimming support lets brightness changes match other compatible Raymarine instruments at night.

Installation and setup

The i50 Tridata is suited to surface mounting at a helm, nav station, companionway, or cockpit bulkhead where depth and speed data need to be visible at a glance. The front-mounted format keeps installation straightforward, especially on panels where rear access is limited.

For a clean retrofit, check the available panel space against the 110 mm by 115 mm face size and the 44 mm installed depth. The unit includes a gasket for mounting, and the IPX6 rating makes placement in a protected outdoor helm or cockpit area practical when the installation is sealed correctly.

Electrical and system integration

The display uses two SeaTalkng connections plus transducer connections, so it can sit on a Raymarine instrument backbone and share data with compatible multifunction displays, autopilots, and other instruments. It can be configured as a master display with its own connected transducer, or as a repeater showing data already available on the network.

In mixed systems, the NMEA 2000 load equivalency number is 4. Confirm backbone power, termination, spur cable layout, and any required adapters before installation, especially when combining SeaTalkng, NMEA 2000, and older SeaTalk equipment on the same boat.

Use on board

This display is a strong match for smaller powerboats, sailboats, yachts, and RIBs where panel space is limited but depth and speed data still need a dedicated screen. It is also useful as a secondary cockpit or helm display on a larger boat when the crew wants instrument data separate from the chartplotter view.

The combined tridata layout is practical for coastal cruising, club sailing, fishing runs, and everyday dock-to-dock operation, where depth awareness, boat speed, trip distance, and water temperature are checked often.
