This past weekend I was working behind the electrical panel of my 290 and I noticed one of the RayMarine SeaTalk cables just laying there not pluged into anything. Searching further I found a Seatalk junction box with seveal connectors pluged in and a single open slot. The open slot still had a cover pluged in. Tracing the non-connected SeaTalk cable back, it go to the Electrical pannel, I don't recall to which curcit breaker it went to, but it was on of the instrument related breakers. Now HERE IS MY QUESTION. Should the Seatalk cable be pluged into the Seatalk junction box??? Last season I had no problem with any of my instruments, with the expemption of one time when I was playing with one of the Autopilot features of getting input from the Raymarine Windex, to hold a course based on wind direction, I got an error saying basically no SeaTalk Connection. QUESTION 2 Could the be related???????
