You are correct, this is not normal behavior for a Navcenter 600. Your
Navcenter 600 is essentially a Raychart 620. The fact that you can not
turn the unit back on after it shuts itself off indicates there is a
problem.

Some of the newer electronics will turn themselves off if they overheat but
the point is that a properly installed system should not overheat.

I would check with factory repair at Raymarine.

Does anyone out there have a Raymarine Navcenter 600? Mine has strange
behavior. It turns itself off after 20-30 minutes of operation. I don't
see a pattern. At first I thought there might be an "idle timeout" where
it turns itself off after a certain amount of inactivity. Today, at the
dock, I was programming some route info into it and after about 30 minutes
it turned itself off. It would not immediately turn back on. After a
couple minutes, it did come back on, but then turned itself off again
after 20 minutes.

So, I presume this is not normal behavior, a timeout, or such. Perhaps it
is an overheating problem?

Anyone have any ideas about this phenomenon?

Thanks,
