Does anyone, Don?, have expected performance for the 292HPs and they are definitely according to Cat 3126s! Plus that is what the label says.
I am not sure of the exact Raymarine Multifunction display we have on our 380DA, but it has a similar issue. Sometimes it will not turn on. I have removed it several times checked the wiring and cleaned connections. Everything I do "fixes it" for a while. I found that if I get a beer, and sit at the helm pushing the "Power" button, over and over, patiently, every 3-4 seconds, it will eventually come on without all the extra work. And it will be fine for a time. It is a shame because other than the SLOW re-draw time (and the occasionally won't turn on thing) the plotter is excellent, and the open array radar is just awesome. My local tech guy says to wire the display unit so it has power all the time, and "sometimes that works". All our other boats have had Furuno Electronics, so I am afraid there is a big bill I my boating future. We have FOG here, and we do some coastal navigating. I need a Chart Plotter and Radar that work when I hit the 'on' button. Every Time. Same Reason I have a SW Revolver instead of the Automatic. When your life is on the line you do not want to be fussing around with unreliable equipment. I have used Furuno equipment in wind, and storm, and caught out in rough conditions. Made Pfeiffer Cove anchorage in the Fog and Dark of 11PM, snuck our boat into both Monterey Harbor and Half Moon Bay in 50-100FT visibility, and got into Santa Barbara Harbor at 3AM despite Fog and confusing lights. When conditions go to hell, reliable equipment is the difference between a nice cup of coffee at the dock, and a hypothermic ride in a CG Helicopter. Keep a good back up handy until you arrive at a solution!Any ideas, My Raynav 300 GPS, once you can get it turned "ON" tends to work fine, turn it off and you have to repeat this procedure. I have to unscrew and remove all of the front panel screws, 15 in total, disconnect the PWR/NMEA cable, reconnect it and it will then power back on and work normally.
Like I said, "any ideas?"
Thanks

Did yours create vacuum with bad bellows?
