I wonder if anyone else has had this issue and knows how to resolve it? It is all Raymarine kit, Axiom plotter 2018, latest AIS set 2018, slightly older VHF 2014. The set is useable, but it would be good to get it sorted so it isn't constantly alerting me to my own boat being so close.

Have you called Raymarine>
Had a very similar scenario a few years ago with a Class A Furuno unit, which one day started to show own ship as a target at a constant 2 cables away distance.
Called Furuno who admitted it was a bug, sent someone clever down to the ship, updated firmware and it was sorted.
 
Is your mmsi number set in the plotter as with my set up Lowrence it has to be to stop seeing yourselves
 
I have the same problem with my Garmin 722 plotter and Vesper 6000 AIS. I presume it's a plotter problem because that's where all the calculations are done.
