Fault finding & maintenance
All Raymarine products are designed to provide many years of trouble-free operation. We also

This chapter provides information about identifying problems, interpreting alarm messages,
maintaining your SmartPilot and obtaining product support.
If a fault occurs with your SmartPilot, use the fault finding tables in this section to help identify
the problem and provide a solution.If you cannot resolve the problem yourself, refer to the
product support information.
