The following is from a thread on the Raymarine Technical Forum here:
http://raymarine.ning.com/forum/topics/third-times-a-charm

You will need to determine where the issue lies either with the masthead or
the display.  You will be able to test the masthead with the below test to
confirm it is working properly and if it tests "good", then next I would
perform a factory reset immediately followed by the calibration process
outlined in chapter four of the owners handbook. If the problem still
persists, I would have to recommend that the display be sent to the below
address to be evaluated by a service technician for repair.

Masthead Test:

Using a digital volt meter you should see the following readings:

Red to Screen: 8V

Blue to Screen: Variable 2 to 6V

Green to Screen: Variable 2 to 6V

Yellow to Screen: Variable 0 to 5V

If any one of the readings are out of spec. then the masthead is at fault.


This pin out for the transducer block at the masthead may come in handy too:
