Wanted: Navman 4430 dust/sun cover

[sunnyboystanley]

Has any one got a Dust/Sun cover for a Navman 4430 fish finder or know who sells them?
I'm also looking for a Navman 7100 VHF Radio in good working order.

You'll be lucky to find a 7100 in good working order. The knobs tended to seize due to corrosion and snap off. Also the mics were prone to water damage. Nice simple set though. An exact copy is now sold by Simrad at an astronomical price - Navico bought Navman and, well, the rest was history...

I'd take one with seized knobs and take the chance and see if I can free them off. I have one and love it. They hook up to the 5600 plotter nicely. It's a shame they don't make them any more good bits of kit! I see bits of Navman kit on eBay from time to time just thought I'd ask on here.

Trouble is, people tended to turn them hard and snap them inside the casing. I know of three that did this

You want two VHFs?

Marine megastore used to sell the sun covers. The equivalent northstar one will fit as well.

I wish my sister-in-law had a boat so I could buy her one too!
