Question about Raymarine ST6001 S1G Hydraulic GPS Receiver
My problem is as follows: My S1G unit is on my trolling boat now for 20 months always working fine in all wind conditions. Since 2 weeks the unit seems to have a problem. It suddely shows no data on the 6001 display and the fluxgate compass looks as if it is hanging. It stays put at a certain position. After a while the display shows that the fluxgate is working again and I can then use the autopilot again. You can then drive for hours in zig zag lines whilst fishing for salmon and seatrout, then it suddenly hangs up again. This problem is absolute new for me and very annoying. The unit always worked fine. What problem do I have?? When I drive a circle using the autopilot it nearly makes a full circle, but just before I close the circle the unit shows no data. Its crazy.... I have checked if ferous material is the reason for the disturbance, but I found nothing that was not there before as it worked fine. A reserve fluxgate compass shows the same problem!!! I have also checked if all cables to the S1G unit are fine and properly installed. Hope someone has an idea whats wrong. Thanks, Cay
Try to borrow a computer unit to detect if the fault is in the computer unit or the display unit
