Raymarine?

 

[jfkal]

Yeah. They are only interested to sell new complete units. At least the offices I contacted........

The Service Centre in Wareham?

 

[jfkal]

Great. Do you have a direct contact there? From the web there is only info@raymarine.com which goes nowhere.

The Service Centre isn’t a part of Raymarine, it’s an independent business. They replaced a faulty screen on our C70 plotter, but warned that it might fail again because all the parts (including the spares on the shelf) are aging. It duly did a year later, and we replaced it with a new Axiom.

Google is your friend

But I'm getting unusually helpful so ...

Perfect. Thanks a ton ;-). Google came up empty pointing always back to Raymarine global landing page.
Really appreciated.

Google plays silly burgers sometimes, I'm forever having to tweak search terms to eliminate paid for ads, usually irrelevant, which clog up the results!

 

[jfkal]

Yeah, quite annoying. If you are not careful they only show you what THEY think you should see and not what you actually seek.
Thanks again.
Cheers and stay safe.

Warning! The Service Centre offered a "fixed price repair". I bought a second hand E80 with a declared fault - the memory module socket was damaged. The Service Centre quoted ~ £360 for a repair explaining a new mother board was required.

I contacted Raymarine in Portsmouth and spoke to a service engineer. He guessed that the shorted pins in the socket would possibly have blown one transistor. I fixed the socket with a little difficulty then packed the stripped down (easy) unit to Raymarine. Their cost - £60 including shipping.

I recovered the £60 I paid Service Centre under ebay rules. I would never contemplate using them again.

Thanks for that.

And yet I've used The Service Centre quite a lot and had excellent service including several repairs that Raymarine couldn't do at all. Hey ho
