Hi,I have a Catalina 36 with a Datamarine LINK 5000 system below deck and a Datamarine 550 Remote on the steering pedestal.The remote was recently exposed to a very bad thunderstorm with heavy winds, rains, and lots of near-by lightening.  Since the storm, the remote has ceased responding to the touchpads.  I did not take a direct lightening strike.I would appreciate hearing from anyone with this equipment who may have experienced similar problems with a remote.Thanks, Bill
