If it makes you feel better, a the modern electronics, especially for marine use, are pretty tough. The shipping bashing they take is minor compared to the life they are about to take up.
If all the bits are there, I suggest moving on and installing them. Rich Knowles Indigo.

He went on the sat that the damaged packaging inside the box was also "normal." Basically he is telling me that Raymarine packages they're expensive instrument poorly and that I'd probably see the same thing when I get the next one. He also said that Raymarine does not seal they're boxes because they want to allow the box to be opened by a salesperson to show the contents to a potential customer... I thought that was what displays were for... He is sending a replacement on Monday but I'm afraid it will be the same because he is already making excuses... Maybe I should contact Raymarine... I just can't believe they would package their stuff so poorly what things can rattle around during shipping, especially circuit boards and such...

I'd either return it or negotiate a discount. It likely works ok. The warranty will be the same. Rich Knowles Indigo.

I opened the shipping box and pulled out the Tack Tick box and the first thing I notice is the factory seal is broken. I go no further and write them the next morning and tell them about the seal. Thay then say, "Mr. Haughey, Thank you for your email. There are times when our sales department will need to open the boxes on some instruments to double check something such as if all the parts are present. I would say go ahead and inspect the item to ensure all pieces are in the box and nothing looks amiss. There should be instructions in the box which will tell you what should be included. If anything looks questionable, please send us a photo and we can check on our end to see if that is how the unit should be or not. I do not think what you received is anything used, though, we likely just had to get into an unit box to check on a part. Sincerely,..." I really don't like this answer. Why would they open a box the check if all the parts are there??? I call BS! Anyway, I open the box this morning and there are scratches, the lens protectors are all bubbles underneath. They just called me as I'm writing this... He is telling me that they aren't packages well from the factory, they have never taken a return...blah blah blah...but, I'll get another one right out to you... He have a much better argument if the factory seal wasn't broken... The stuff is all rattling around in the box! This is how ray marine packages a $2000 system? I guess Ill find out when I get the next one... Here a few photos. http://sdrv.ms/10FhaTl http://sdrv.ms/10Fhh17 http://sdrv.ms/10FhpO8 http://sdrv.ms/10FhD7S http://sdrv.ms/10FhGk6 It just all seems quite strange to me...

I did not get a chance to open the boxes yet but, should do that this evening. I had walled out of there without ordering a new hatch. My bowmar hatch has a broken hinge and there are no replacement parts available. So I ended up calling then like thursday, after the sale and they honored the sale price on a lewmar low profile model. I pulled the old hatch over the weekend and all the bolts were suck and some snapped. I guess that the nw hatch was definitely in order. I've now blown my budget for this year.
