    Raymarine ST6001 Smartpilot issue

    I have a 2006 Raymarine C80 Display and ST6001 Smartpilot Controller. I have had an intermittent problem that shows up randomly. The C80 Display, boat compass, and the COG reading via the ST6001 all show the correct heading. But, the "Standby" direction on the ST6001 is way off and seems to be...

    Upgrade Wind Instraments

    Hello All, I bought a 1980 Oday 30. The wind reader has never worked. The current electronics are via Signet which is 40 years old. If I were to upgrade to a new Raymarine wind reader, would I also need to climb the mast and replace the transmitter with the same brand? Thanks for looking, Jim

    Trying to Upgrade to Raymarine C80

    Hey Gang, I bought a 1980 ODay 30 and its time to upgrade the electronics. The boat came with a Garmin GPS 120 (probably 25 years old), which works with the power on, very difficult to read and is obviously outdated. No radar on the boat. I was given a Raymarine C80 Chart Plotter which also...

    REPLACING RAYMARINE ELECTRONICS

    I have a 2006 Hunter 45cc with the Raymarine C80 Chartplotter. I had the C80 replaced with a salvaged unit recently, but it seems to have failed again. I had replaced the unit when it kept loosing communication with the autopilot. But yesterday, the newer screen went to black while I was...

    Raymarine Autohelm ST4000+ Motor Wire Connector

    While troubleshooting error messages on our ST4000+, it turns out the wires connected to the wheel drive motor were hanging on by a few strands, and probably shorting out. I want to fix it but I don’t know how to attach wires to the two-pin connector that makes the link to the motor. Photos are...

    SeaTalk1 Wiring?

    Hello! I am all but convinced based on inferences from very sparse other online sources that the Seatalk 1 protocol allows for devices to be wired in parallel. Is this correct? I am trying to wire up my Raymarine ST4000 (original black one, not the gray ST4000+), a Raymarine ST60+ TriData, and...

    Raymarine ST4000 autopilot in wind vane mode?

    I have a ST4000 (the black one, not the grey ST4000+) and am getting used to its awful limitations, even on a Catalina 30. Granted, I am sailing in and near San Francisco Bay where the wind and currents are quite strong. I have basically given up tuning the thing to be anything better than an...

    Raymarine parts

    I'm re-mounting a Raymarine C70 chartplotter and when I removed it last fall, the gasket between the plotter and navpod got pretty beat up. Does anyone know who may still have such a thing. Raymarine's site is no help. In a pinch, I know I can make one but before I do, I thought I'd ask.

    Replacing an old AutoHelm BIDATA depth and speed electronic

    I bought my 1993 Hunter 23.5 used two years ago. It came with an AutoHelm BIDATA device for measuring depth and speed. It's connected to a in-hull transducer (no hole in the boat). The depth measurement works fine, but the display is worn out and very hard to read which is driving my desire...

    Raymarine Auto Helm problem

    The locking lever on our Auto helm ST 4000 keeps unlocking right after being engaged. It started last year but now is constant in its third season. After 45 minutes of obnoxious on hold music with their help line, I went to their FAQ where the only advice was to send it in for repair. Has...
