power concerns

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Sallysea,

The the a/c/e/eS-Series MFDs are not designed to supply power to other products, switching the MFD OFF via its POWER button would have no effect on the power state of the other devices within system. The same applies to the Ray60. Accordingly, power consumption by the Quantum Radome and external GPS Sensor will continue after the MFD and VHF radio have been switched OFF. If seeking to completely shut down power to the marine electronics, then they should be powered via a switched power circuit(s).
