Adding Evermore 320 to Smartpilot

Trying to replace my Raymarine 120 GPS with a evermore 320 with wires.  I have a auto pilot that uses the NMEA input on my Raymarine C120 so I can't hook up the gps with the 5 prong cable. I have been told that 320 is NMEA compatible and you, Raymarine, stated previously:All of our current autopilots are directly NMEA compatible. The autopilot has a NMEA IN (+)and a NMEA IN (-). Some other manufacturers' GPS units have a slightly different NMEA wiring configuration with a NMEA IN (+), NMEA OUT (+), and a single ground wire which serves as the negative for NMEA IN, NMEA OUT, and Power.Connect the GPS units NMEA OUT (+) to the Raymarine pilot's NMEA IN (+). Then, to connect negative side, run a line from the Raymarine NMEA IN (-) to the GPS ground wire, or to ground.Some GPS units have a configurable NMEA Output. Make sure that it is set to output 4800 baud, NMEA 0183, and if selectable version 1.5 or higher.So I hooked the gps green wire to the NMEA IN + and the gps shield (loose black) to the NMEA IN -Then for the power I hooked the gps red to the red pos and the black to the black neg on the smartpilot power inputs  I closely wrapped the wires with the existing wires and replace bothI am not getting a signal.  I have gone to my C120 diagnostic page and see that under external interfaces/  NMEA 0183/ buffer     I have Tx (output) but no Rx (input)there was another post from evermore on Raymarine's support page  that described the wires as:         Evermore's ( Mrs Ariel Cheng ) answered me Today:         Red wire: VCC power (+12V)          Green wire: Tx, Output signal          White wire: Rx, imput signal          Black wire: Ground          Gray wire: Shield wire, signal ground          Blue wire: Not usedSo I tried switching the black loose or shield and replaced it with white and put the shield wire with the other black wire on the neg power  ( Green  to NMEA IN +  and  White to NMEA IN - ) Still nothingSo  I placed the white to NMEA OUT +     NothingLastly I placed the white to NMEA OUT -    NothingAny help would be greatly appreciatedRichSee More

Correct upgrade e7D

Hi,so far I've had e7d with internal transducer P58, and now I just installed CP450 and two transducers 1kW B175 L and B175H 20 degrees and connect to e7D. Can you tell me the exact procedure to setup e7d with CHIRP sonar. Should be CP450 disconnected from the mains before a fix the e7D.See More

Auto Pilot Control Head problem

Recently, the control head (model ST70) for my autopilot failed to come on when I turned on the breaker.  The screen was blank and none of the buttons functioned.  However, the autopilot drive (Model M81131) seemed to work fine since I could steer the boat using the autopilot remote control (Model E15034).   I tried switching the breaker on and off a couple of times, but the control head did not come on.   After about an hour, I noticed that the control head had magically started working again.  It has continued to work with no further problems.During this process, I also noticed that my remote control would go dead due to low batteries and would not hold a charge.   I have 2 questions:1.  What can I do to diagnosis the control head problem now that the unit is working?2.  Where can I get replacement batteries for the remote control?  The batteries inside the unit are Varta MicrobatteryNiM, 2/vh1600AA.  2.4 V 1640 mAH 108  Type 5519.   They look like two AA batteries with a wire attached which plugs into a circuit board.Thanks for any help!  KimSee More

Course computer 100/300 power failure

Recently, my course computer type 100/300 has been giving me headaches. It keeps rebooting, as if the power fails for a short while and then comes on again. Gives a short beep, and the control unit restarts. Oddly, the computer only does this when the chart plotter - an RC 520 is switched on. With the chartplotter switched off, there doesn't seem to be any problems.Got any idea, where I should look for the bug?See More

Connecting i50/i60 instruments to E80 classic and S1G autopilot

I am in the process of connecting i50/i60 instruments to an E80 classic and S1G autopilot with an ST7001 controller.The instruments are connected to each other via the SeaTalk NG cables that are included with the instruments. The last instrument has a SeaTalk NG to SeaTalk cable. The SeaTalk end has three wires: red, yellow and bare.I am providing dc power to the instruments independent of the E80 and autopilot from the dc panel with a 5 amp breaker. My understanding is that the red wire from SeaTalk end of the SeaTalk NG to SeaTalk cable is connected to dc+ and the bare wire is connected to dc-. The yellow wire is the SeaTalk data cable.The E80 has a SeaTalk/Alarm cable. The manual indicates that this cable has a yellow lead that is SeaTalk and a black lead that is SeaTalk return. I am not clear on whether the yellow lead from the instruments is connected to the yellow or black lead on the E80 SeaTalk/Alarm cable.On the S1G course computer there is a SeaTalk input. I am not sure if the yellow lead from the instruments is connected to this terminal or if the SeaTalk data is received from the instruments through the ST7001 Controller.Finally, in connecting the autopilot to the instruments via a common terminal with the E80, will the autopilot then also be receiving gps, xte, wpt and other data from the E80.Thanks for your help.AlSee More

M92652 stepper motor

I own a 4kw 24" scanner model M92652 that needs a stepper motor. Raymarine p/n is R095 or R58224 given to me by their technical support dept. Their parts dept., however, tells me that these parts are no longer available. The original motor is a Thomson Airpax Mechatronics p/n S57L048S12-M1. This motor has also seemed to disappear from the face of the Earth. Does anyone know of a cross reference for another stepper motor to directly replace the original? It seems absurd to replace a $1500 scanner for want of a $20 stepper motor, although a genius marketing ploy by Raymarine. It really makes me think twice about ever buying anything more from this company!See More
