Raymarine repair costs

[EastCoastChris]

I have an out of warranty Raymarine C70. Everything seems to work fine except it has stopped reading or writing anything to the memory card. This includes reading the chart card.

I have checked my non-chart cards with the Raymarine card checking utility and it says they are fine, but the C70 will not write to or read from them. I don't want to mess around connecting the chart card to the PC to check it as I know this has the potential to corrupt it.

Does anyone have any experience of the Raymarine out of warranty repair service and how much I might expect to pay to have this investigated and fixed?

They were very helpful at Raymarine, when I sent an RL70 for check and repair, they checked it out and advised of cost before doing any work, total cost was around £70.00 IIRC

I had good service from Raymarine on my 9 year old GPS that gave up the ghost. They said they repaired it but in fact it was a new unit. It too developed a fault about 8 months later and although they siad their repair warrenty was only 6 months they replaced it anew

Thanks guys, I asked around at the club a bit today as well. I was a little worried they were going to charge a fortune. Will give them a bell and get it sent off.

Fingers crossed the financial woes don't get them whilst it's being fixed!
