c80

[3ccc's]

i have a raymarine c80 surface mounted at the helm, at the end of the season it started to turn itself off during the day. at the time if you moved the power cord it would come back on. now the unit won't even come on. i checked the fuses all good cleaned all conections still nothing. bought a new cord and hooked it direct to a battery nada, any ideas?

Is there any corrosion at the plug end? If not, I would look at the plug inside the unit for any signs of discontinuity. If that checked out, had good voltage fed to it and it would still not come on, it may be time to send it the shop.

Unscrew power cable and get yourself a strand of small wire and insert in the plug and other end of your meter to a good ground,preferably a ground bar or strap and check for 12volts first,let me know what you find.
