The Raymarine ST8002 Smartpilot the unit powers up but does not work when the auto mode is selected. The hydraulic motor does not engage when a course is set. What could be the source of the fault?
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.

Charts won't load on raymarine e80 chart plotter
If you are having trouble loading charts on your Raymarine E80 chartplotter, there are several things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
1. Check the chart card: Make sure that the chart card is inserted correctly and that it is compatible with your chartplotter. Some chartplotters require specific types of chart cards, so check the user manual or contact the manufacturer to ensure compatibility.
2. Check for software updates: Make sure that your chartplotter has the latest software updates installed. You can check for updates on the Raymarine website or by contacting customer support.
3. Check the chart source: Make sure that the chart source is set correctly on your chartplotter. If you have multiple chart sources (e.g. internal memory, external card), make sure that the correct source is selected.
4. Check the chart format: Make sure that the chart format is compatible with your chartplotter. Some chartplotters only support certain chart formats, so check the user manual or contact the manufacturer for compatibility information.
5. Check for obstructions: Make sure that there are no obstructions blocking the GPS antenna or interfering with the chartplotter's reception. Obstructions can include tall buildings, trees, and other objects that block the line of sight to the GPS satellites.
6. Reset the chartplotter: Try resetting the chartplotter to its default settings. This can sometimes clear up software glitches or other issues that may be preventing the charts from loading.
If none of these solutions work, you may need to contact Raymarine customer support for further assistance or repair.
Take care and have a great day! -Alex

Raymarine c120 classic intermittent no data source
"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.

How do I connect my garmin 741sx with my raymarine St 4000 with nmea 183
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:
- Obtain an NMEA 0183 interface cable that has the correct connectors for your Garmin 741sx and Raymarine ST 4000.
- Connect one end of the NMEA 0183 interface cable to the NMEA output of your Garmin 741sx.
- Connect the other end of the NMEA 0183 interface cable to the NMEA input of your Raymarine ST 4000.
- Configure your Garmin 741sx to output NMEA 0183 data. Refer to your Garmin 741sx manual for instructions on how to configure NMEA output.
- 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.
- 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.

Internal or external antenna? Any sources of electromagnetic interference or something blocking view to sky?
I have a Raymarine Autopilot with a control unit
You can probably find another control head on eBay... the ST6002 should also work, though it's smaller. The ST8002 is the same size but adds a knob meant for powerboats, but should also work. All three models are SeaTalk, which is what you need. The ST70 is also SeaTalk in addition to N2K, so I'd expect it to work.
Radar Raymarine HD wiring diagram, how to wire to Raymarine C120 unit
After nearly 4 years I dunno if you got this sorted.
The question is ambiguous, as Raymarine radar comes with wiring harnesses; the display end is a plug-and-play 12-pin male to the harness end female; the other end goes up the mast in a plastic sleeve to prevent damage to the 8-pin connector and the 2 or 4 power cables (depends on "light" or "heavy").
There's a means of connecting a digital radar to the C120 but I don't have that so don't know the specifics.
Is this the sort of information you were looking for?

I have a Raymarine C80 shart plotter / sounder
I would think it's prity much certain that the DSM 300 is duff. I returned mine back to Raymarine for test and repair £200 + VAT They came back unable to repair as they have no parts for the DSM 300 . They undertake to be able to repair units for up to 10 years and I think that's why they offered me a DSM 30 that will work with my analog display in my case a C70 MFDU and the existing transducer. OR an upgrade to a CP370 digital sonar unit, this will work on your existing tranducer but you will have to upgrade your display to a digital unit, I went for the upgrade and purchased an "a"series 9" MFDU with a chart, fantastic performance. This has left me with a spare analog MFDU that will hopefully keep my radar running a little longer before I have to go down that road and upgrade.
Hope this helps
PS there was no extra to pay so a CP370 for £240 was a good deal
Raymarine ST6002 Smartpilot Alarm Message ''Seatalk Fail 2''
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.
