So my Raymarine radio, from prev owner had his MMSI in it. I cannot just do a code and change the MMSI, I have to MAIL it to "Raymarine Service Center" in New Hampshire.
So today, pulled it out, had to cut a few wires nicely previously tied with shrink tubing and go online.
The Raymarine website is a mess. Ended up with FLIR, which has nothing to do with VHF radios in "REPAIR out of warranty". Their site says no info on typing in "MMSI".
Will cost me $108.00 to Raymarine plus shipping, another 20 buck or more and insurance.
Who knows when it will come back?
In the past 30 years I have had about 6 big boats, a couple with Raymarine instruments in them. Always a slog with Raymarine. Terrible support. Although this may be "the last boat", I would rip out any Raymarine on the next one and put in some Garmin, or Simrad or Furuno or an Edsel.
