Updating Sailing Electronic Software - the ONE thing to AVOID - Ep 8

Hey everyone, Steph and Travis here, continuing to make our way down south to escape the winter weather! We continue south from New York City and head down to Cape May, NJ, around to Delaware Bay and up into Annapolis, MD. Just before departing from Atlantic Highlands, NJ, our Raymarine i70 died when attempting to perform a software update..womp womp. With no resolution after calling Raymarine dealers, speaking with technical support and canvassing for assistance online, we continue onwards without our wind instrument. We were told we'd likely have to send the instrument in for troubleshooting and/or purchase a new instrument...that is, until we?re given a very helpful tip! [How We Fixed our Raymarine i70] -Unplugged all other instruments/devices from the MFD and made a new simple STng set up: STng 5-way Connector STng Backbone Terminator x2, 1 on each end of the connector STng Spur Cable to MFD [with its own 12v supply] STng Spur Cable to i70 STng Power Cable to 12v -Played with powering the MFD on/off, disconnecting the i70 spur cable and powering on/off the main switch at the panel -Toggled with the power on/off until the i70 was recognized in the diagnostics page on the MFD -Uploaded the latest Raymarine software on a Mini SD Card. The MFD recognized that the i70 was able to update. -Update completed and it now appears to be in working order [Where We Dropped Anchor ] Atlantic Highlands, NJ - Sandy Hook Cape May, NJ - Cape May Harbor Delaware City, DE - outside the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal Elk River at the entrance of Bohemia River, MD Back Creek & Bodkin Creek, MD Annapolis, MD - Annapolis Harbor [Music] Smile by Bensound Acoustic Breeze by Bensound Little Idea by Bensound Happiness by Bensound Memories by Bensound Sweet by Bensound Flames by Dan Henig Sunrise in Paris by Dan Henig OUR WATERMAKER - SeaWaterPro AC Single Membrane - a purchase made through the link below helps to support our journey at no extra cost https://seawaterpro.com?sca_ref=1318981.ElEepUm59l VISIT OUR SWAG SHOP - show your support of our channel by rockin some cool stuff ?? https://sailing-jibsea.creator-spring.com IF YOU'D LIKE TO SUPPORT OUR JOURNEY - receive exclusive updates and bonus footage https://www.patreon.com/jibsea OTHER WAYS TO SUPPORT US - to make a one time contribution to support our journey and channel PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/jibsea Interac E-Transfer: sailingjibsea@gmail.com WANT MORE?
