Raymarine E120 Master question

[jim_thomsen]

Hello,

I have an E120 at the chart table and an E80 in the cockpit. The E120 is the master, connected to SeaTalk and the RADAR.

I have two questions: Recently, while sailing through reefs to enter Kavieng, Papua New Guinea my E120 shut off, which makes the E80 lose the chart/position/radar. It did it a few times, restarting after a couple of minutes. Now we are anchored I have let it run for hours and it seems fine. It was really hot when we arrived...if it overheated would this happen?

I tried to make the E80 the master, moving the chart card and setting it as master. The chart comes up but not GPS position. I was wondering if I could hook the E80 to SeaTalk without it causing any problems when the E120 was working fine as the master, but be available if I want to make the E80 the Master?

Thanks.

yes, should be fine.
