What to do if instrument data is unavailable on Raymarine Marine Equipment displays?

  If instrument, engine, or other system data isn't showing on any Raymarine Marine Equipment displays, start by checking the data bus wiring and connections to ensure they are properly connected. Also, verify the overall integrity of the data bus wiring. Confirm that the source of the missing data, such as an ST70 instrument or engine interface, is operational. Check the power to the SeaTalk bus. If these steps don't resolve the issue, there may be a software mismatch and you should contact Raymarine technical support.

  If your Raymarine Marine Equipment system or part of it fails to start, begin by inspecting the relevant fuses and breakers. Ensure the power supply cable is in good condition, with tight, corrosion-free connections. Verify that the power source provides the correct voltage and sufficient current.

  If your Raymarine Marine Equipment display is behaving erratically with frequent resets or system crashes, check the fuses and breakers. Ensure the power supply cable is sound, with tight and corrosion-free connections, and that the power source provides the correct voltage and current. Make sure the front bezel is correctly fitted and all buttons operate freely. If problems persist, go to www.raymarine.com and click on support for the latest software downloads. As a last resort, perform a factory reset via Menu > System Setup > Settings and Data Reset, but remember this will erase stored settings and data; save important data to a CF card beforehand.

How to fix a Raymarine Marine Equipment that won't turn on?

  joann64Aug 27, 2025
  If your Raymarine Marine Equipment product does not turn on or keeps turning off, begin by checking the fuses, breakers, and their connections, replacing any that are blown or tripped. If fuses continue to blow, inspect for cable damage, broken connector pins, or incorrect wiring. Also, verify the power cable is securely inserted, check for damage or corrosion, and flex the cable to see if it causes a reboot. Ensure the vessel's battery voltage is adequate, and the terminals and cables are clean, secure, and free from corrosion. Finally, use a multi-meter to check for high voltage drop across connectors and fuses.

  If your Raymarine Marine Equipment product will not boot up and is stuck in a reboot loop, check the power supply and connections as you would if the product wouldn't turn on at all. In case of software corruption, try re-flashing the latest software from the Raymarine website. As a last resort, perform a ‘Power on Reset’. Note: This will delete all settings, presets, and user data, reverting the unit to factory defaults.
