Danny — the e Series has what Raymarine calls Hybrid Touch, where you have a
touchscreen along with hard controls to manage the MFD. The a Series is
touchscreen ONLY; there are no hard controls with the exception of the on/off
switch.
All the Raymarine MFDs should work with the same set of tab
FWIW, the touchscreen does not work with full finger gloves and is not as
good as an IPad touchscreen. Also, it is hard to touch the right spot in a
sea. I have the e7. I did not buy a Garmin due to the lack of a joystick.

Fred, thank you for that summary - I've been trying to work out what the
differences between the Raymarine models amount to in the real world.
Would you care to expand your descriptions to include the "c" and "es"
ranges too?
Thanks!

support a flame than Gasoline as well.

Sure! The eS Series is the newest MFD from Raymarine, and is basically an
updated, more powerful version of the e Series, with both touchscreen and hard

buy today, particularly at the 7” size where there’s not much d

Mike,
As I understand it, that’s one of those “what’s more important to you” choices.
The radar will “see” more at the top of the mast, but having that much weight
aloft will affect sailing performance.
Personally, I’d go with the stern pole. That way, if you need to fix anything,
it doesn’t
Mike,
My experience with mast mounted radar is not favorable. Close in targets tend
to drop off (such as small boats and channel markers in the fog) as the radar
tends to see above those objects. The mast mount is also hell on an
overlapping jib..

A couple of comments on radar: a mast-mounted radar will “see” vessels further
away, including over the horizon compared to deck-level. But as Chuck
mentioned, it will not see things in the water closer to the boat, as there’s

Tim — for most recreational boaters, you’re not going to be spending enough
time on the radar to learn how to best use the return info on the HD radars. I
think that’s much more helpful in commercial and fishing situations, where
you’re really diving much further into the radar data.

I was thinking mast mount mostly to keep it away from passengers and crew,
however I can see it as a possible pest on the mast as well.

Mike,
One other option for mounting the radar is to utilize a gimbaled backstay
mount , which allows the mount to be sufficiently high above head height and
has the advantage of self levelling the dome to orient with the horizon. It is

Ok, I just pulled the trigger on the e7D combo. I have a bracket on the mast

Mike,
Well, it is a combination. A good example here:
The C&C 25 has an aft compartment under the tiller, where the gas tank
sits. It is practically on the cockpit, and any fumes just drain out from a
little drain hole.
Now some industrious owners (like a previous owner of "Tabasco") decided to

Yes, again you’re correct, the 3G/4G radars use quite a bit less energy, so the
potential for injury is significantly lower.

Hi Paul
My boat is a C&C 35 and it is Mithrandir. I think the previous owner bought
another boat and called it Mithrandir II. I think they kept the boat up in
Sidney at Van Isle. I personally don't know them.

That isn’t an example of an explosive vapor ignited by a spark, but rather a
liquid mist being heated above the 494 F ignition point of the liquid. And
