1. I have the Raymarine c70 and Smartcraft display. As of two months ago my fish finder/ depth was working fine but now when I go to that page on the c70, it states "no data". Did a transducer go bad? Loose connection? Any ideas what to look for?
Welcome to the 320 club.
If your boat is configured as mine, SmartCraft is getting it's data directly from transducer and should have depth reading on the tachometers (keep clicking the MODE button and you'll get to DEPTH). C70 must be getting depth reading from an aditional transducer, which most likelly is feeding DSM (whatever model you have) unit. You need to find that DSM and check if it has a GREEN light. If it does, this most likely means that the other dedicated RM transducer is working and is sending data to the DSM. Now it would be between the DSM and C70 (hopefully bad connection).
Just remember that you should have 2 different transducers, so if C70 doesn't show you depth you can get it from the tach.

2. My sliding entry door's upper "track" is worn/broken. I need to have it replaced but it looks like the whole cockpit console needs to be removed to get access in order to remove the door. Would this be correct? I replaced the wheels that attach to the top of the door but have now broken the new ones already! Any advice for fixing the track?
I doubt very much that the whole console needs to come off. If you loosen all the screws on the door it should be sliding out toward the cockpit. If you can't get all the screws on the track you can take one or two helm pannels out and reach those screws from there.
