Wanted: Navman/Northstar Sounder

[Downhilldai]

Never thought I'd say this:

Looking for a Navman or Northstar fishfinder to replace a defective unit, which has been flush mounted into the console (before I got the boat )

Don't need the transducer (or at least I don't think I do )

OR

If anyone knows someone who can fix the existing unit, that would be great. It's a power issue - takes loads of attempts to power up the unit and when it finally switches on, it will only stay on for a few minutes.

Presume you've seen this, dood:

You don't say which unit you have - do they all have the same footprint?

[Downhilldai]

Yep, that's the one, willk. Same unit - it's already on the watch list. There's another on there, wearing Northstar clothes, which I've also got my eye on.

[Miller]

have you thought about sending it to the service centre? They do fixed price fixing and seem to be able to repair most things

[Downhilldai]

I thought about it, but didn't know what sort of costs would be involved. Do you have an idea on how much a fixed price fix would cost, Miller?

[wellhouse]

have you made sure your electrical connections haven't gone green and horrible. (voltage drop can cause this)

I had a dodgy screen on mine, it cost me £44.95 for them to take it to pieces;turned out to be a loose connection and repair. they also gave it a once over and a waterproofing test and that included delivery back to me...They offer a pretty good service, quick and informative

Thanks, I'll give them a call to see what they can do. Don't suppose you have a contact number?
