Did the radar, actually power up ?

You haven’t done a software upgrade recently have you? And do you have a fast heading sensor?
It may not apply to your particular model but earlier software would allow overlay without a heading sensor but obviously it was not synchronised and was therefore useless, the later software disables the facility unless it senses a heading sensor in the system. Also try the radar solo before switching to plotter and trying the overlay

Yep works fine by itself and on the split screen...

No, no updates. Not sure if I have a fast heading sensor though thinking about it I took an old monochrome system out so I would very much doubt it.
The overlay was spot on when it was working, clearly showing the pontoons over the chart back at base.
I have put the same question on the Raymarine site but heard nothing back yet......

Did the purple "sync" display in the top left corner ?

Roy, it said "Ovl/Sync Disabled" where it should say "Sync".....

Have you set it for dual range ? as overlay is disabled in this mode.

No it was on single range. I know this because I tried the setting with two radar traces and they both changed range together........

No not that bright, I can't even work a damn chart plotter!!!!
Thanks for all the ideas.
Will let you know if/when I find out what the problem is. Of course, it has to happen on the one time a year you feel using Radar would be a good idea.
Sorry we missed you on Saturday.....
