Sorry to interrupt the usual drivel in here, but
I did want to report good customer service from Raymarine.
I have a Ray fishfinder/depthfinder on son of Yo Ho. I didn't
think
the
display was bright enough, so last September I called and asked
what
to
do. I was told to simply return the unit after the boating season
and
Ray's service department would look it over.
Sent the unit back last week, got a phone call Wednesday, told
there
was
nothing out of the ordinary, but the company was sending a brand
new
unit
just to make sure.
It arrived yesterday.
Cool.
Oh...side benefit...everyone I spoke with at Ray spoke English
properly,
with a solid Yankee accent!
I'd tell you what's paying for that great service, but it would
turn
this
into a political discussion. It's enough to say that it's your tax
dollars,
and that you should buy as much RTN stock as you can afford, along
with
some
HRS.- Hide quoted text -

Aren't you the one who went all tin foil hat about some kids website
a
couple of months back?
No. You must be imagining that.
Right now, explain how you came to that conclusion based on what I
said.

No Joe, it was you. You freaked out and told us we were all
downloading some malware by clicking on the kids site. The kid post
the site every few months, been doing it for years... smerk...
OK. You're right.

Now, explain your tin foil hat bull****, and how it made sense as a
response
to my stock suggestions.- Hide quoted text -

I think you see conspiracy where it is not, and I think your personal
politics leads your imagination. I think you read a lot but can't
process all that information logically, or put it to practical use. I
think you either have some insider info (doubt it) or are seeing
things again when it comes to your stock call.... Hows that for
disabled? :O


Are you saying that Raytheon's defense business doesn't make an important
contribution to the quality of its tech support for its other customers?
That's what I said in the paragraph which I've repeated below, in case
you've already lost track of the conversation.

Perhaps a bit less obscurity in your initial posit would have been helpful.

You need news sources to have a clue about Raytheon's business?

You do know that Raymarine has not been a business division of
Raytheon since 2001 right?

Was the buyout complete? I thought Raytheon still held a percentage of
ownership. Also, wasn't some overseas company involved in the original
divestiture?

I shuda read more of this thread.

The Navigator's electronics were ordered in 2000 and the radar, GPS,
depth/fish finder, autopilot, etc. are all marked "Raytheon".

If they had been purchased a year later they would be marked "RayMarine".

There was some initial quality and service concerns when the commercial side
was sold, but it seems that most are happy with the equipment.
