I just had my c90w returned from Raymarine and a new processor board was installed. I installed the unit today and I am unable to get the radar to overlay with the cartography. I do get an active radar display on it's own page but will not overlay. Ie the radar overlay soft key will not move to the on position. This is a digital radome but does not display a dual range operation option. previously I got the overlay. Any suggestions?

connecting power to new network
I am upgrading the electronics on my boat. I am replacing a c80, RS125, st60 with two transducers, and vhf 215.
I have ordered and just received an eS127, RS130, Quantum radar (power and wire), Airmar P-79 Raya, Ray60 VHF, EVAutopilot 200 with drive pack, a dst800 A22111, and two MEFI-4 engine gateways which will use a male devicenet to Seatalk ng adapter cable A06046.
I have mapped out the network and will connect the Radar and Sonar to the back of the MFD. The MFD will then be connected to the backbone with a spur cable, as will the rest of the components. I intend to use two 5 way blocks for this with the proper spur cables and terminations.
My question relates to the power set up.
1) The eS127 MFD, Quantum radar, Autopilot (ACU200), and Ray60 VHF all will need their own power based upon what I have been reading.
2) The network backbone also will require it's own power.
My question relates to the dependencies for the power hook up. For instance, under the old set up, when i pressed the power button for the c80, the ST60 and the VHF radio also powered up.
Is there any guidance as to what the dependencies should be for the described system. For instance, Allen at FoxMarine where i bought the engine gateways advised that the gateways should receive power when the engines start. They each draw 30 ma and can drain the batteries over time. However, they are part of the network and will be powered by the house battery, not by the ignition system. The only downside is that you are missing data for 6 seconds which isnt a problem for me.
I currently have them drawn up to receive power from the backbone via a A06049 power cable. I also have the RS130, the Heading sensor, and the DST 800 Triducer set up to receive power from the backbone.
1) What is the proper power set up for this network?
2) Will the MFD kill the power to the instruments connected to the backbone when it is turned off?
3) Or will the backbone continue to provide power to the components listed above. 4) Will the P70 R turn off the power to the Autopilot components when it is switched off?
5) Is there an example available for the proper set up?
I have researched this a bit and could not come up with any real guidance and the way the phone technical support is set up at RayMarine it is componenet based as opposed to system based.
I have attached the system diagram below. If you see any other concerns with it please feel free to let me know.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Radar Overlay with C-Series Classic MFDs & C/E-Series Widescreen MFDs
C-Series Classic MFDs & C/E-Series Widescreen MFDs:
Unlike early versions C-Series Classic MFD and C/E-Series Widescreen MFD software, the final release of software for these MFDs will not support the Chart application's radar overlay feature using GPS COG should the system not be interfaced to a source of heading data. Should one desire to use the MFD's Radar Overlay MARPA radar features, then a stabilized heading source supporting 10Hz or greater heading updates is recommended (ex. Raymarine EV-1 Sensor Core, Airmar H2183, KVH AutoComp 1000, etc.). Raymarine's EV-1 Sensor Core has the advantage of being similarly priced to the other sensor alternatives and is a core component of an Evolution autopilot. As such, should the system ever be expanded to include an autopilot, then the EV-1 Sensor Core could be removed from the list of required autopilot components.
Raymarine recommends that accurate 10Hz or greater heading data be supplied to any system using using any of (but not limited to) the following Radar and Chart application features:
- MARPA
- Waypoints Displayed within the Radar Application
- North Up or Course Up orientiation within the Radar Application
- Radar Overlay within the Chart Application
- Heading Vector within the Chart Application
- Vessel Icon Orientation within the Chart Application (will default to COG when no heading data source is detected)
- Chart Orientation within the Chart Application (will default to COG when no heading data source is detected ... when not moving or operating at maneuvering speeds, the Chart orientation will revert to North Up unless the system is interfaced to a source of heading data)
- Heading Databar and Data application data items
- Other heading dependent features.

Raystar 130 not recognized
It has been a long battle, but I have my e9 as master, e12 as slave. Quantum Radardome and a B744 transducer. the system works great although it is hard to get to connect to wifi. Anyway, a key component of the system is a RAYSTAR 130 GPS antenna. I have the cable run down to the e9 (Master) and plugged into the Sea Talk plug on back of the MFD. However, it is not being recognized, so I am using the internal gps from the e 12.
Does this have to run through the spout cable, ,which is independently powered to be recognized or is there power running through the STN plug on the back of the display and I have other issues? Thank You

p70R stby button enables auto pilot
The buttons on my p70r suddenly started behaving oddly. No electronics were installed or removed and I don't think I changed any settings.
If autopilot is on and I press the standby button on the p70r then it beeps and continues with autopilot on. If I press standby on the rmk-9 or displays it cancels normally.
If autopilot is on and I press the standby button then it enables auto pilot as if I had hit the auto button.
holding down the stby button just enables auto pilot and wont shut the unit down.
The top left dot key is also behaving oddly. It does not enable track as it appears to be set to do in the menu. When navigating the menus it does not act as a back key, instead it selects the current menu item. Rather frustrating.
Other then those two buttons it's behaving normally.
I've restarted it many times.
Running whatever was the latest software around April 2016.

Transducer options on DSM300 changed
Hi,
I have a Raymarine E120 MFD with a DSM300 and the speed/temp sensor on my Airmar B744V transducer recently failed, so I purchased a new Airmar speed/temp insert for the transducer, which I spliced into my transducer cable via an Airmar waterproof splice box. After finishing the installation I checked the operation of the transducer and found the temperature and depth working fine but NO speed indications. I then reset the DSM300 and went to configure the DSM300 for the B744V transducer and found the drop down list of transducers no longer listed the B744V transducer or any other 600 watt transducers. All of the transducers on the list were of the 1Kw variety. I know that prior to changing the speed/temp insert, my DSM300 was configured for a B744V transducer and it definitely showed up on the dropdown list. How can I configure the DSM for the correct transducer if it does not show up on the configuration drop down list and why did the list change? Thanks in advance for your help.

WiFi Quantum connection
I recently purchased the e97 MFD and Quantum Radar, upon first installing the radar the MFD recognized the wifi connection and the radar came on with no problems at all. Everything looked as it should. However, heading back to the boat this weekend the MFD cannot connect to the Quantum radar, I have followed the normal troubleshooting routine, entered the SSID and pswd again, disconnected power to the radar, reconnected and entered the SSID and pswd again, it still won't connect. Says, "Radar not found" on MFD.
Follow-on question - is this going to be a continual problem with the radar unit? If I have to reset and reconnect and enter the SSID and pswd on the radar every time I want to use it, the wifi option seems like more trouble than it is worth. How do I ensure the radar stays connected and ready to use on a boat used mostly on weekends?

Compass issue
The heading on my ST70 reads magnetic, but when I power up my E90 chart plotter the heading changes to True. The set up options on the E90 are set for magnetic and the readings on the E90 are magnetic. But the autopilot continues to read True. If I power down the E90 it still reads true. But if I power it down and restart--with E90 off--the autopilot reverts to magnetic. What's going on?

RL80C - NO FIX
I have a RL80C Multifunction Display (2004) Ray Marine. I purchased boat last June, all functions working great on the unit.
This past weekend I started the unit and the GPS came up with maps but had "NO FIX" top right corner of display. I checked GPS settings and the sats are displayed, no sats located. I restart gps and sometimes it finds the sats and NO FIX go off and my map and location starts to work but sometimes I have to restart gps numerous times before finding sata. A few times the gps never finds sats.
I removed and reset the cables on the unit, no changes.
This just started happening this past weekend, never had an issue with it not locating the sats.
Could this be a faulty antenna or intermittent issue with the unit itself.
Any troubleshooting tips?
Thank you
Joe

When is it necessary or desirable to install a HS5 RayNet Network Switch?
The primary reasons why one would install a HS5 RayNet Network Switch(es) include:
- the system's MFD(s) do not feature sufficient Ethernet Network ports to support interfacing all compatible devices having an Ethernet communications interface to the system.
- redundancy within a system having more than one a/c/e/eS-Series MFD. In systems having more than one a/c/e/eS MFD where more than one of these MFDs has been interfaced the HS5 RayNet Network Switch(es) and to the SeaTalkng backbone, it would be possible to reconfigure this second a/c/eS-Series MFD to perform as the system's Data Master MFD in the unlikely event of a failure of the system's primary Data Master MFD.
- compatible devices having an Ethernet communications interface which are interfaced directly to a MFD's Ethernet Network port will not be accessible to other MFDs within the system when the MFD to which the device has been connected has been switched OFF. Note: this does not apply to gS-Series MFDs, as the Ethernet communications circuitry within the gS-Series MFDs will remain operational at all times except when the circuit supplying power to the gS-Series MFD has been switched OFF.
- simplified installation. Depending upon layout of the vessel, where the marine electronics will be installed, and how easy it will be to chase cables, it my be easier to lead the Ethernet communications cables from these devices to a HS5 RayNet Network Switch below decks where space and access may be better than in the area where the MFD(s) will be installed.
From a performance standpoint, there is no advantage to using a HS5 RayNet Network Switch should the total number of Ethernet Network ports of the MFDs be sufficient to support interfacing all compatible devices having an Ethernet communications interface to the system.
The gS-Series MFDs feature Gbps Ethernet Network ports. Accordingly, should the system feature gS-Series MFDs, then it is recommended that the Gbps port of the HS5 Network Switch(es) should be interfaced to the Ethernet Network port of the gS-Series MFDs to maximize the system's performance.

Radome position on radar arch
Hi, just got an RD418HD and am wondering if i need a pedestal on my arch or not. I have it mounted at the moment, and just wondering if it is high enough in relation to a Glomex tv antenna, a standard VHF antenna, and a Ubiqity Bullet wifi antenna that ive mounted. Will those items cause interference on a height level? or just distance from the radome? or does it not matter if they are not going to be operated simultaneously? ie.....wont be using the wifi while underway, only at marina, where I then wont be using the radar?
Thanks

The system reports "Cable Test Status" Fail on the Self Test. Also has reported "Ship Sensor" Fail on Self Test, and "No Data Source" when using.
I will perform the Cable/Radome Resistances Test as outlined in other threads.
My questions is:
i. Is there a similar E120 pin resistance test on the scanner connection port. Want to know in case the Cable & Radome pass.
Thank you for your time.

Unable to update ST70 software
A recently upgraded system has two eS series MFD's, an RS130, ST1 to STNG converter, ST70, SPX 30 course computer, ST60 and Smart Pilot RF remote. eS series units are at v17.45, ST1 to STNG converter is at 2.01 and the SPX 30 was successfully updated from v1.18 to 3.05. However, when the software update is executed for the ST70, it does not update even though the the update indicates a v3.04 update and the ST70 is at version 1.06. See attached pictures. I have noticed that the product ID for the update is P625 while the product ID for the ST70 is D625. I'm not sure if this matters or not.
Any suggestions on how to get the ST70 updated? Could this be a bootloader issue? I see that in the version 2.05 and 3.03 the bootloader was updated from the current ST70 bootloader which is v.19.

Wheel Drive belt will stretch over time. Accordingly, the the Wheel Drive is designed to remove drive belt slack associated with a such drive belt stretching. The the following procedure may be used to adjust the drive belt tension:
1) the vessel should be located dockside, on the mooring, or at anchor
2) on the back side of the drive loosen the belt tensioner's allen head locking bolt enough that the square belt tension knob may be rotated
3) tighten the square belt tension knob until the tension begins to be felt half way through the rotation of the clutch lever's range of motion
4) tighten the belt tensioner's allen head locking bolt
