TOPIC:

I am having problems with my Tack Tick compass holding charge. The instruction say that you may need to leave it in the sun for a couple of days to get fully charged up.
I have tried all that and more and on a cloudy day or sailing late in the eavenings it has a habit of turning itself off. When you restart it there is a low batery charge warning.
Does any one know if these things can be fixed, do the manufactureres offer a service program.

Any advice gratefully recieved

Charging details here:

How old is it? They have a two year warranty (upgradable to three years). When mine went wonky they replaced it free of charge.

If it is no longer in warranty, they have a repair service.

Once charged you need to make sure it is kept in the dark (ie in its case) so that it stays switched off.

Thanks for the information
Alas I think its well past its warranty I have had it for a couple of years after a friend passed it on to me when he gave up dinghy sailing. So I will try the raymarine repair servcie.
I suspect I am not alone with this problem so I shall report back to this forum my experiences.
I am reluctant to fork out for a new replacement Tick Tack unit prefering to spend my money on one of those new double glazed jibs that will keep me warm in the winter.

Regards
