Raymarine Plotter Trackpad

[mark1882]

I have 2 Raymarine C90W chart plotters on my boat and the centre button of the track pad which you use to control some actions on the screen in particular the curser have both come away.
Does anyone know where I could buy new trackpads from, I have seen some Chinese replacements on eBay but they are not fully functional in that they do not show the illumination behind the trackpad when sailing at night.

Thanks
Mark

I bought mine from id3gear.com in Canada in 2022 and it has been excellent. However, trying to find him now appears to show he is no longer producing anything. Otherwise, you are down to Ebay I think. Speaking for myself, I am not sure the illumination at night adds anything .

I too got one from id3gear and it was great. On the downside iirc it was outrageously expensive once shipping etc was included … I just figured it was worth it to squeeze a few more years out of the c90w which I still think is a reasonable bit of kit. While it’s a shame if the Chinese ones don’t illuminate they’re a fraction of the price of the Canadian one and way cheaper than a new plotter so I think I’m with poecheng on that.
