Raymarine radio

[jon and michie]

Hi thanks for the offer but on the 240 it's plug one end and wired in to the hand set

Yes that is right - at the mike end you have to open the mike up and the cable is terminated with a pcb type plug/ socket which just plugs in then close the mike back up.
I will take a photo when I get home next week

That plug is a ampinol (think that's how you spell it)
And is the same as mine.
I will be home on Thursday I will post it on here Friday / Saturday

215/230 mics don't work with a 240

Would the cable fit though as in extract the cable from one mic to the other?

Not sure what problem you're trying to solve? Seastoke has said the speaker isn't working on the flybridge?

 

[Seastoke]

The cable is knackered as well

Sort of contradicts your first post:

I have done a repair with shrink sleeve all good

I have but the cable will disintegrate , and can’t shrink sleeve on the short and curly bits.

Working speakers are very hard to find and nobody repairs them, I had the same arrangement as you, one inside and one on the flybridge. The easiest way by far is to fit a stand alone radio, I went for a Standard Horizon GX1400 GPSE, it has the benefit of a built in GPS, nmea output and cables for another speaker.
I just tapped into a 12v feed (I used the searchlight as I've never actually used it) and fit an aerial.

I would second the suggestion of replacing the radio.

As an alternative to NautiFox solution, i'd consider a Standard Horizon set at the lower helm, with a RAM mic upstairs.

Hi Paul what’s a ram mike

I actually moved the working 240 speaker up onto the Flybridge so I had two working radios up there and can listen to various channels simultaneously.
I can hear the lower helm radio from the handset at low speeds ( which I would be doing if helming from there) backed up with a handheld radio.

With a fixed set at the lower helm, just one cable to run to the flybridge (or vice-versa).

 

[Nauti Fox]

If you do go down that route make sure your set has that application.

@Seastoke right I am finally home and had a look at mine - unfortunately yours is the male plug and mine is the female plug both 8 pin.
This was where I got a spare ampenol plug from they are cheaper than rs components - Maybe worth giving them a call and send them a picture to match it up
