Thanks. I live 250 miles from my 280 and forgot to measure the diameter when I left it in dry stack. I guessed a 4 in diameter and yes it has visible screws. It's just a drop in from the top. It has a 45 degree sliding helmet that I honestly don't know what it could do. My guess is to...

I may try simply inverting the unit. If my hunch is right, the bubble caught underneath the unit would fix itself.

For what it's worth I think I hit a big bump and it disconnected somehow. The fluid might be a millimeter or 2 lower than original but I compared it to my fresh water dash mounted Ritchie (a smaller unit) and the relative size of the bubble was about the same. It's possible an air bubble has...

Thanks. the fluid level is normal. Something else is awry. I wouldn't take it out and send away for weeks of double talk on warranty if I can buy and replace for 150 bucks, but it seems like something that should be DIY fixable. It's more than a wobble and seems to have fallen.

Yes as long as you have turned on the Amp toggle switch inside, everyhing works from remote switch, but "power up" is only at the main panel switch inside.

I just had pads replaced. It's stock set up.

It is necessary to power up the clarion inside.

It's in the starboard pad.

You dont have a speaker picture button on the helm that must be lit to work anything? I do.

You cannot turn on anything but the inside radio from the helm switch. After turning amp on inside then you can go to helm to hear. ITs funny to turn on everything from the helm and hear the sound only inside. Then you must go inside to turn the outside speakers on. If you are inside and...

Yes amp turns on at the head unit, without which you have no speakers outside.

I have a question re Ritchie compsss flush mounted on my 06 DA 280. The card seems to have fallen off the pin mount inside the globe. It always wobbled of course, but stabilized under plane. Now the card tilts at almost a 45 degree angle. It eventually settles on the right heading, but even...

The helm switch does control both AFTER it's turned on inside. Odd thing is that you can tie on the inside unit from the helm, but not the one at the helm.

I have an 06 with clarion and the cockpit controls should have a speaker button. With or without that button, the clarion sound stays inside cabin (so you don't need a remote switch at helm). Only if you have optional amps and outside speakers does sound go outside. I have that stuff but still...

I bought a standard round seat at Lowes for 20 bucks and will let you know how that works!
