How to restore scrolling image on Raymarine Sonar?
- M
  Mrs. Jennifer EstradaJul 26, 2025
  If the scrolling image is not being displayed on your Raymarine Sonar, ensure that Sonar is enabled from the Shortcuts page. Check the unit’s connector for broken or bent pins. Verify that the cable connector is fully inserted and locked. Inspect the power supply cable and connectors for damage or corrosion, replacing if necessary. Also, check the transducer for damage or fouling. Finally, confirm that you have the correct transducer fitted; the CPT-DV transducer is for DownVision™ only and not compatible with the Sonar application.

How to fix a Raymarine Dragonfly 6 that does not turn on?

  If your Raymarine Sonar product does not turn on or keeps turning off, check the condition of the relevant fuses and breakers and connections, replacing them if necessary. If the fuse keeps blowing, inspect for cable damage, broken connector pins, or incorrect wiring. Also, verify that the power cable connector is fully inserted and locked, and check for any damage or corrosion on the power supply cable and connectors, replacing if needed. Ensure the power supply is wired correctly and that the power source provides sufficient voltage by checking with a multi-meter under load.

Why does my Raymarine Dragonfly 6 display keep resetting?
- J
  Jessica JohnsonAug 4, 2025
  If your Raymarine Sonar display behaves erratically with frequent unexpected resets or system crashes, start by checking the relevant fuses and breakers. Ensure the power supply cable is in good condition, with tight, corrosion-free connections, and verify the power source provides the correct voltage and sufficient current. You may also visit the Raymarine website regularly for software updates. As a last resort, perform a Settings and Data Reset, but remember this will erase all your stored settings and data.

What to do if Raymarine Dragonfly 6 will not boot up?

  Charles CervantesAug 10, 2025
  If your Raymarine Sonar product will not boot up and is stuck in a re-boot loop, refer to the solutions for a product that does not turn on or keeps turning off. Additionally, in case of software corruption, try re-flashing the latest software from the Raymarine website. As a last resort on display products, perform a ‘Power on Reset’; however, this will delete all settings, presets, user data and revert the unit back to factory defaults.

Why is my Raymarine Dragonfly 6 not reading depth?
- X
  xmayAug 14, 2025
  If your Raymarine Sonar shows no depth reading or loses bottom lock, verify the transducer installation meets the location requirements. Check the transducer angle, adjusting if it's too great. Inspect the transducer to ensure it hasn't kicked up due to hitting an object and check for damage or fouling. Also, check the power supply voltage under load with a multi-meter and inspect cables for damage or loose connections.

Why Raymarine Sonar GPS cannot acquire satellite fix?
- R
  Ruben YoungAug 20, 2025
  If your Raymarine Sonar GPS cannot acquire a satellite fix, periodically check to see if a fix is obtained in better conditions or another geographic location. A GPS Status page is available that provides satellite signal strength and other relevant information. Ensure the unit is mounted above decks, away from structural bulkheads or other electrical equipment that may cause interference.
