Here we we provide information on our Onwa support program and access to our downloads . In Downloads we include latest firmware and Onwa charts.

Support;

We provide a total care package for any Onwa Marine product whether purchased from AVES Marine, you have bought from another supplier, or your device has been self imported.

Items purchased from us:

Warranty items: All products that we sell are covered by a return to base warranty for all parts and labour, the only cost you will incur will be the shipment to our support base in Scotland, return cost will be at our expense (if you are outside of  Mainland UK we may ask you to meet the additional cost to return an item to your location).

Out of warranty items:  A free estimate will be provided .

Items self imported or purchased from another supplier:

Warranty items: if purchased from an authorised Onwa dealership, we will ask Onwa to provide an authorisation to supply a warranty repair, this will be usually be parts free of cost but our labour and return freight cost will be chargeable to you unless accepted by Onwa or your supply dealership. If self imported or purchased from a non Onwa approved seller (often referred to as a ‘Grey Import’) Onwa is very unlikely to support a warranty claim and and will advise returning your product to the original supplier. However, we will support your item on a chargeable basis.

Out of warranty items:  A free estimate will be provided.

If you have an Onwa product that requires attention please call to arrange a returns authorisation to our support base in Scotland:

Downloads:

This is where we keep our download links for K-charts, Firmware, software etc. The links will take you to our server on Dropbox where we store all large files. Dropbox is a cloud system that provides server storage for companies to store large files. Small files can be sent via an attachment to an email message but large files (typically greater than 10 to 30 meg) cannot be sent this way so we upload our large files to the Dropbox cloud and by following the link that Dropbox gives to us for each file that we save on their server you are able to download the file from Dropbox. This service is completely free to you. Download speed will depend upon your own internet speed.

What you will able to download from this site:

  • Firmware upgrades
  • K-chart3.2 downloads
  • K-chart 2 downloads
  • Other software for Onwa products
  • Tips and other general stuff about using Onwa products

Apart from providing links to download the files we also provide explanation, guidance, and tips that we feel may help you to complete the download process and also, where a software application may not be completely straightforward to use, some guidance through the process. If you are downloading files and software and you feel that an explanation is needed where it isn’t provided or that our explanation could be improved please message me, Alan Vick, either by way of a message on this website or by email to alanvick@avesmarine.com. ‘Tips and other general stuff’ is something we will be developing so if you have any questions regarding using an Onwa product please let me know so that this can be included.

Downloading and installing the files.

Copy the link and paste it into your browser address bar – this is the bar at the top of the browser page, copying into the search bar lower down will likely not take you to the download but instead to a general list of searches – it depends upon the browser being used. The file that downloads you should save to an SD card, up to 16gb is OK. The file for the chart is a .tuf file, this won’t be recognised by Windows so you will not be able to click and open it. When saved, place into your plotters card reader. Power on the plotter and the update will be recognised before the plotter boots. Accept the upgrade and the file will load into your plotter. When completed switch off and remove the SD card.

 

FIRMWARE: this edition of firmware was released in December 2022

K-combo later G versions – check the serial no. of your ONWA KCombo-7, if after the model number, there is a letter G, then it is a G hardware Version. G versions have different sounder hardware. Be careful that you use the right K-combo version.

Note regarding updating KP1299: Older versions of KP1299 (all variants) may not accept an update to later firmware. If your 1299 will not respond to the new firmware, a small file is needed to be loaded into the plotter first before loading firmware.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/xfgwimexa5t495p/KP-1299X_new_firmware_support.tuf?dl=0

Procedure: Download the file above to an SD card, place the SD card into the plotters’ card reader, start the plotter -file will be loaded. Proceed then with the actual firmware upgrade.

 

K-chart3.2 downloads.

K-charts were introduced in 2018 as K-chart3.1 built in charts to replace K-chart2. The K3.1 charts are generally better for most areas than K-chart2. Unfortunately the size and complexity of the K-chart3.1 produced quite serious lag when used in 7 inch models. Kp38 and 39 particularly were slowed to the point where the plotters were difficult to use. K-combo and Kp708 versions with their better hardware were usable and KP1299 models with their very superior hardware and memory were OK. In 2022 there was an improvement in the design of the K-chart to version 3.2. This was in the form of a ‘tweak’ to the charts which improved the lag across the whole model range although for KP38 and KP39, whilst improved, it is still noticeable. For KP38 and 39 owners the lag will be noticable, particularly when moving the curser. This is best done slowly allowing the plotter to keep up with the button presses. Importantly, for a slow moving boat during normal navigation, the plotter will keep up with the chart changes and the  lag will not be noticed.

To activate K-chart3.2 requires a menu change – change map choice to K-shart3. If you have been using an SD card version of K-chart2 then you also must change map source to built in.

Here are the links for K-chart3.2: note that the area images  covered by each chart is for version 3.1 and may be slightly smaller since the 3.2 change

How to program the 200A and 200AS.

https://onwamarine.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/How-to-programming-vessel-information-for-Onwa-AIS-plotters.pdf

Note that this procedure requires a serial to USB dongle that works – many don’t and the process will fail. This is why AVES Marine provides a completely  free programming service to anyone who buys a KS200A or AS from us. However, we have serial dongles that work if you want to program your 200A/AS
