Raymarine C70 replacement

[rigpigpaul]

Hi All, my C70 has failed. I have the wind, speed and auto instruments. What is the cheapest option to replace the C70 plotter. Can I still keep the instruments.
Thanks

What generation C70 is it? What instruments do you have for the wind/speed/depth and also what autopilot?

As if Raymarine you can replace the plotter with a new style and get the instruments to bridge to the new plotter (SEATALK to SEATALK Ng), but unless you have the newer style autopilot then that will not be controllable from the newer Raymarine MFDs.

Hope that makes sense?

Thanks for the advice. I will check the autopilot type when I am back on the boat then contact Raymarine.

Why contact Raymarine ? Just post on here what you have.

Another option is to look for a second hand C70/80 - quiet often advertised in the For Sale forum.
I will have a C80 for sale shortly.
I think even the Seatalk to Seatalk Ng convertor is £100+
