I've had 2 Raymarine products. Both were junk. The first product was 4000+ autopilot. On matter they or I did it would not steer a straight course. The unit was rated for a 16000 lbs boat. It was installed on a Pearson 28, well below the displacement limit. Product #2 is a st40 wind instrument. It worked for 1 week after the installation. I sent it back to Raymarine service and they repaired it. The repaired unit worked for 2 weeks. They currently have the unit and can not duplicate the problem. The problem is it displays all dashes on the instrument. I said how about a new one. They said $130. I said free. They said no.
