My Raymarine st 60 speed ( not a plus model) instrument is stays in repeater mode. Can anyone explain to me how to change from repeater mode to master mode. The manual does not help much. Setting factory reset puts it in master mode temporarily but it always reverts back to repeater mode.

Check out the "INTERMEDIATE CALIBRATION" proceedure on page 30 paragraph 4.3 of the Raymarine ST60 manual in order to set the instrument in "MASTER" or "REPEATER" mode. I'm referring to page 30 of the actual Raymarine Owner's Handbook not the pdf file page.

After you have completed this proceedure, make sure you save your settings as follows. Hold down the speed and trip keys for 2 seconds to save your settings, which will exit you from the Intermediate calibration and resume normal operation.

I have repeatedly tried that window you directed me to. It will not toggle back and forth from repeater to master. My software version is 3.02. The only way I can change to master is by going to factory settings. The problem is that it will not lock in permanently to master. I check this by going back to Intermediate calibration. Here it will change back to repeater mode without me toggling it. This is very frustrating.

Raymarine ST60 problem
Something doesn't sound right. I would suggest you contact Raymarine. Their tech guys are usually very helpful. You can ask your question through their web site and will probably have an answer on Monday. Have you ever been able to set this instrument in master mode? Is this a new to you instrument? Is your transducer connected and working?

I'd check the transducer to see of the paddle wheel is moving first, and then check the transducer connections to the display head. in the absence of transducer input the unit is smart enough to figure out to go to repeater mode automatically. so it sounds like either the transducer is bad (check for ac voltage while someone spins the paddle wheel, also check for continuity between the two wires and for not connection to ground in either wire) or the transducer connections to the display head are faulty (if memory serves there are only two and while some will say the you can connect them backward I'm not convinced of that since the signal is just pulses of AC) or the connectors are corroded or wires broken. I believe the unit can tell if there is a transducer by the presence of a circuit (continuity between the two wires) when it starts up and there does not need to be actual data coming over the wires.
I'd look here first as this is normal when transducer data is not available.

Testing the speed/temp instrument
Attached is a Raymarine procedure for testing the speed/temp sensor as well as the schematic from Airmar who makes the unit for Raymarine. The testing is easy and quick. The instrument will come up in the repeater mode if it does not see the sensor. So you may have a broken wire, bad connection or the sensor may be bad.

st 60 speed instrument
I want to thank all of you for your help. Raymarine did get back to me and the scoop is that if there is no resistance sensed (probably within a certain range) between the two temperature wires (the brown and white wires) than the st 60 goes into repeater mode. The tech said that 70 degrees will give a resistance of about 10k ohms as an example. Things sure would have been easier if they would give you this information in the first place !! Go figure!!
