While going on first cruise of the season, I discovered an issue with my electronics. It seems my chart plotter (Raymarine C80) and wind system (ST 60) would not work. They both powered up, but the chart plotter was not reading any satellites nor would the wind system display speed or direction. I have a Raystar 120 that I believe connect the systems (not my area of expertise).
Good reason to know how to navigate without the modern conveniences.
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

My Garmin chart platter, which has an external antenna, sometimes will go on, but not read the satelites. I clean the antenna plug at the chart plotter unit and that cures the problem.

Thanks mike, it's certainly worth a try.
