The crew of a cruising sailboat in Fiji replaces a set of failing Raymarine i70 multi-function displays after the screens suffer from moisture ingress and unreadable bleeding.▶ 19:46 The owners, Adam and Luke, purchase new i50 depth and speed instruments and an i60 wind monitor to replace the legacy units.▶ 12:25 Because the new instruments feature larger housings, the crew enlarges the existing cockpit console holes by drilling a series of small holes around the perimeter, cutting the remaining material with a small blade, and finishing the edges with a wood file.▶ 16:04 The installation requires splicing the existing through-hull transducer wiring into the new units, which successfully restores depth and wind data.▶ 19:09 After initial difficulty displaying speed over ground, the crew resolves the issue by re-wiring the system based on guidance from the Unofficial Raymarine Facebook group.▶ 20:56 The vessel remains in Fiji awaiting a stable weather window for a 600-mile passage to New Caledonia, delayed by persistent low-pressure systems and the need to complete these repairs.
