20 Most Recent Raymarine Ray218 Marine Vhf Radio E43032 Questions & Answers

Hi Jim

Your VHF lives in a fairly harsh marine environment and you're correct in thinking "tuner cleaner" might be the answer. I believe that your volume control is simply dirty. I would suggest using silicone spray (WARNING- Use ONLY the safe for plastics type.) to clean it. I've had good success just removing the control knob and blasting the pot, working it back and forth. You MIGHT wish to do this with the power off however, unless you have a great set of earplugs.

You mentioned that you have a handheld VHFas well. Any chandlery will carry an adapter (about $10) to let you hook your portable to the big antenna should a problem with your marine VHF arise. We've had the occasion once to have to do this and we were glad we carry the handheld aboard at all times.

Cheers!

According to a post on the Raymarine forum, this error message could indicate an issue with either the steering, the drive unit, the rudder reference unit (if fitted), or the course computer . The post suggests a few tests that you can do yourself to figure out which item is causing the issue. I suggest that you try the following steps: Check the connections between the ST8002 SmartPilot and the other components of your autopilot system. Check the calibration of the ST8002 SmartPilot and the other components of your autopilot system. Check the hydraulic fluid level and the hydraulic pump pressure. Check the hydraulic pump motor and the hydraulic pump solenoid valve. If none of these steps work, I recommend that you contact Raymarine customer support for further assistance.

To connect your Garmin 741sx with your Raymarine ST 4000 using NMEA 183, you will need an NMEA 0183 interface cable to connect the two devices. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Obtain an NMEA 0183 interface cable that has the correct connectors for your Garmin 741sx and Raymarine ST 4000.
2. Connect one end of the NMEA 0183 interface cable to the NMEA output of your Garmin 741sx.
3. Connect the other end of the NMEA 0183 interface cable to the NMEA input of your Raymarine ST 4000.
4. Configure your Garmin 741sx to output NMEA 0183 data. Refer to your Garmin 741sx manual for instructions on how to configure NMEA output.
5. Configure your Raymarine ST 4000 to receive NMEA 0183 data. Refer to your Raymarine ST 4000 manual for instructions on how to configure NMEA input.
6. Once both devices are configured, the data from the Garmin 741sx should be transmitted to the Raymarine ST 4000 via the NMEA 0183 interface cable.

"Finally convinced him that **your** specs requiring the 4c cable at those lengths was correct" You know we are Fixya and not Raymarine? We just have a Raymarine category for handy filing of questions and answers. This question needs a factory service department technician on the phone. As a boat owner, who doesn't have radar, and reading your post carefully, I would suggest the connection at the top of the mast. It is far more hostile up there, and it has been up there a long time.

I am not familiar with your particular model autopilot, but I do know that Raymarine autopilots can be fussy. All must have a compatible gps feeding it, of course. All must have a rudder angle indicator if your auto pilot connects to the wheel or rudder instead of directly to the tiller.

It replaces the fluxgate compass and adds a few Moore sensors to the system, such as acceleration an deviation sensors to give a m?re intelligent data to the processor

Very possible that the Wind instrument has a defective Seatalk interface - it happened to me. You could try your Wind in another boat, just connecting it temporarily to the Seatalk Bus - if it jams those it is the problem Your autopilot should have a separate Course Computer such as the 100, 400, S1... somewhere. Some models have two SeaTalk busses, and the recommended installation is to use one bus for the 6002 control head alone, and the other bus for instruments etc, so a SeaTalk fail on the instrument bus will not disable he Autopilot. I retired my boat this way (after the dealer took the one-bus shortcut). The real solution is to have the Wind instrument fixed. The cheapest work-around is to cut the yellow SeaTalk wire between the 6002 and the Wind, so that the Wind instrument gets power but does not affect the data bus. That should let the AP and Wind each work normally and independently (no Wind-angle mode on the AP). Raymarine have a forum you should join for more info and help.
