Raymarine A80289 Raymic Second Station Kit

The Raymarine A80289 Raymic Second Station Kit extends reliable VHF communication across your vessel, giving you a second hardwired microphone station independent of your primary helm position. Whether you're running a center console, trawler, or yacht, this expansion kit transforms multi-zone communication into a practical reality—critical for larger boats where shouting between stations wastes time and compromises safety in emergency situations. Built by Raymarine, a leader in marine electronics trusted by professional captains and recreational boaters alike, this kit eliminates the need for handheld alternatives when crew members need instant radio access at secondary helm locations, swim platforms, or bridge wings.

This second station kit integrates seamlessly with compatible Raymarine VHF radio systems, delivering full push-to-talk functionality and speaker output through a hardwired connection that ensures consistent signal clarity without battery drain or interference typical of wireless alternatives. The microphone unit is engineered for marine-grade durability, featuring corrosion-resistant housing and sealed audio components designed to withstand salt spray, UV exposure, and moisture typical of saltwater and freshwater environments. At 2 pounds, the kit remains lightweight enough for easy installation on rails, bulkheads, or console trim without adding significant weight to your vessel's electronics infrastructure.

Captains operating dual helm stations, bridge-equipped vessels, or boats with extended deck layouts benefit most from this expansion, as it eliminates single-point-of-failure radio access and streamlines crew coordination during docking, anchoring, or emergency maneuvers. Installation requires connection to your existing Raymarine VHF system; verify compatibility with your specific radio model before purchase. Professional marine installers can typically complete setup in under an hour, running cabling through existing wireways or conduit to minimize aesthetic impact and ensure long-term protection against moisture intrusion.
