NMEA2000 and Raymarine SeaTalk NG Networking

This video explains what NMEA networks are for and how they work. It then goes through installing a Raymarine Sea Talk NG network onto my boat Renko STNG is an NMEA2000 compatible network.

I guess waking up at 4am est on my downtime does have a payoff now! I get to watch something else from my favorite YouTube mariner

[graemethomson]

yes ..Watching Stu talking Tech
I last about 8mins, then out like a light
Best bedtime stories ever if you want a good night's sleep
It takes about 4 nights to watch one program
thanks Stu

Demystifying boat devices' communications. Simplified version 101. Well done. Looking forward to the next instructional session - AIS.

Okay Danger man. You know its got to be "Grounding, Grinding and Bonding" sometime soon after this Episode!!

Watching Dangar Stu's latest. Gloss over his typical intro, waiting for the good stuff. Brain hears, "Today, we're going to be installing an Enemy A.I. onto Renko, and it's proudly sponsored by..." Wait. what?!

[rootsblowersanddetroits]

For non boat owner and not familiar with the system, it very cool
And like how user friendly it seams !!

[Pappajack]

This could be called NMEA for dummies. Some really great incites into how great Renko looks now after the time at Bunderburg. Made my Sunday morning. Thanks Stu.

when we started with this in the offshore world in the early 80's

Stu, you are a great teacher. You make the complex easy for this dummy to understand. (Kind of). Good to see you again!

Great video! Excellent summary of connecting devices. Please consider a video adding nmea sensors (temp, oil pressure, cooling water, or tach) to the Detroit, and networked into the system. Amazing amount of nmea sensors now available for just about anything. Old school (Detroit Desiel) meets new school (nmea 2000).

Working for the US Coast Guard as an electronics technician, they trained me on both systems since some vessels still utilize nmea 183. 2000 is so much simpler and reliable in my experience. Great video Stu.

I am so glad to see you back on the air and on You Tube this is Bob from Vero beach Fla. God bless and stay safe and have a great day

I did quite a few hours of research on NMEA in 2020 after buying a boat but still got more info out of this video. While the Raymarine dude (and I guess you too) went a couple levels further in the specifics of the tech than most people would ever need almost all of it was still very interesting and I did learn a couple new things from him too. Thanks!

Having been working in shore based networking for 20 years, this is fascinating - never knew how it was done in marine and makes perfect sense now!

[stephenreardon]

I learnt more watching this than chat GPT could offer! Awesome

[HyperionMV]

Love these technical explanations. It would be awesome to have well produced and simply explained (like this one) videos about various systems and concepts in a properly categorized playlist. They are invaluable to us owner/operators. The fact that it’s you on your boat and not a manufacturer or even a vendor shilling the product is key. Stew, we like you because although the Ray Marine guy is there to sell product (nothing wrong there) we know you won’t let him feed us some BS. In fact, I’m sure, if they know you, they simply won’t even try any BS to begin with. If you end up getting some kit free or at a discount, no harm done.

[gregorythomas]

That is a really nice system...I'm thinking back to when I was first introduced to radar :)
Ah...Daisy finally has someone she can pick on & run off!

[JeremyVeleber]

Good one, Stu. I enjoy these. The Raymarine guy (can't remember his name, sorry) does a great job of filling in details.

Thanks Stu for the interesting video. You know that when " Skynet " takes over the world
this is how they will take control of Renko.

Incredible mate. Amazing how functional and helpful the manufacturers have made it since the early days. Stay safe and hope the weather settles down soon 🙏👍
