Raymarine product horrors
wrote:
This past summer, I purchased a Raymarine E120, 2 KW Raydome radar,
GPS and Wind/Speed/Depth instruments for my CNC Landfall 48.
The E120 product has MASSIVE shortcomings, which are documented by
myself on YouTube:

I had to send the unit to Raymarine warranty support, and they
replaced the motherboard. The unit in the videos has under 2 hours of
operation on it after Raymarine 'blessed' it when I shot these videos.
I was without the unit for 8 weeks while they waited for non-defective
replacement motherboards to arrive.
And the videos document what they claim as 'non-defective'.
I encourage everyone considering a Raymarine navigation system to take
a look at these videos.
Just fighting to get my money back. I'm going back to raster charts
on a PC.
From what I have seen of their instrumentation, they are very
impressive-looking crap, complex, difficult to master, and certainly not
very reliable.
You are doing the right thing going "back" to rasters on a PC or laptop.
Dennis.
