I have the antiquated '97 Ray Marine Nav equipment.
I have:
Raychat 601xx - non functioning
Raydata - Functioning
R41xx Radar Screen / plotter - Functioning
xx Open Array Radar - Functioning
Raynav 398 GPS / Loran - Think it's functioning but not getting GPS data from 108 GPS antenna.
It has a non functioning Auto-pilot I will add the model numbers tomorrow when I check them.
I plan on upgrading everything in the future. But, I think there will be some big advancements in the next year or two, so I'm not in a big hurry.
I'm thinking of getting the C140W Ray Marine has on special now. It should tie into SeaTalk and pick up Depth and Speed and should be a good plotter.
What I don't know is what is required to get the autopilot running again. I think all the mechanical parts are still intact. I would guess the Raynav would need GPS. Can it get the signal from the C140W?
I'd like to get the autopilot working at least to maintain a course heading.
