Help with replacement of SL70C MFD

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Mike,

Q1. Here is my electronics list:
- SL70C MFD
- Radome - 18" 2D
- Auto Pilot - Smartpilot ST8001
- Raystar GPS Receiver (120 0r 112 per book)
- Suunto Compass (95 or 15 per book)
A1. As indicated within my initial response, the radome would need to be replace. Depending upon the model of autopilot course computer (not specified) which has been installed onboard, it may be possible to adapt is along with the GPS sensor for use with one of Raymarine's currently manufactured MFDs.

Q2. my current MDF has locked-up. I've tried the tricks found in the forum to get it to restart but no luck. It will turn on then goes into a continual start-up loop and I can't turn it off. I have to turn off the power to the helm. if I were to send my current locked-up MDF in for repair, do you know how much this typically would cost.
A2. Unfortunately, Raymarine can no longer provide parts and service for this family of radar displays

Q3. My other thought is, if there aren't current MDF's available that will work with my Radome, Auto pilot & compass, what older units would use the same wiring as the SL70C.
A3. The second hand display being sought may be a SL70, SL72, R70, RL70, RL70C, R80, or RL80C display (with or without RC option).
