Enhance Your Vessel's Communication with Seamless Remote Control

Imagine navigating busy waters or managing a larger crew where quick, reliable communication from anywhere on board makes all the difference. The Raymarine 2nd Station Kit transforms your Ray60 or Ray70 VHF radio into a versatile system, letting you control transmissions, monitor channels, and even conduct intercom calls from a secondary location. This isn't just an add-on—it's a game-changer for safety and efficiency during long passages, fishing trips, or commercial operations.

Crafted for the demands of marine environments, this kit centers around the RayMic handset, which delivers crystal-clear audio and intuitive controls without cluttering your helm. Whether you're at the flybridge, in the cabin, or on deck, it keeps you connected without compromise.

• Intercom Functionality: Communicate effortlessly between stations, perfect for coordinating with crew members in different areas of the boat.
• Rugged, Versatile Mounting: IPX7 waterproof rating means it thrives above or below decks, with a compact design that fits tight spaces and withstands spray, rain, or accidental submersion.
• Superior Audio and Visibility: High-contrast LCD screen remains readable in direct sunlight or total darkness, paired with a built-in speaker for loud, distortion-free sound even in noisy conditions.

Why Boaters Trust This Kit for Everyday Reliability

In practical terms, this second station setup shines on multi-station vessels like yachts, charter boats, or workboats. Skip the frustration of yelling across decks or interrupting your watch to adjust the radio. Instead, handle routine checks, weather updates, or emergency hails from wherever duty calls. Its robust build handles vibrations, salt air, and temperature swings, ensuring years of dependable service.

For safety-conscious skippers, the ability to duplicate critical VHF functions remotely adds a vital layer of redundancy. Pair it with Raymarine's ecosystem for AIS receive or Class-H DSC, and you've got a communication hub that rivals professional setups.

Effortless Setup and Compatibility Tips

Connecting the RayMic to your Ray60 or Ray70 is straightforward, using the included extension cables that support runs up to 50 meters without signal loss. Surface-mount or flush-mount options adapt to your boat's layout. Pro tip: Route cables away from high-power sources like radars to avoid interference, ensuring peak performance across all channels.

It's backward-compatible with existing Raymarine VHF installs, making upgrades painless. Regular firmware updates via Raymarine's tools keep it current with evolving marine standards.

Real Boater Experiences and Pro Tips

Owners rave about how it streamlines operations during night watches or when handling lines at the dock. One captain shared how intercom calls prevented mix-ups during anchoring in crowded bays. To maximize utility, position the handset within easy reach of key crew spots and test intercom range pre-departure.

Maintain peak condition by wiping down with fresh water after saltwater exposure and storing in a dry spot off-season. This simple care extends its life far beyond basic expectations.
