Yep, cracked face place and water is pouring out of it. It's probably
been that way for some time.
You leave me with the impression that a cracked face plate in front of a
smeared screen can still be turned on and run.
No, I didn't try turning it on. Figured that was futile.

Any experience or advice would be greatly appreciated. I have a 20ft
Starcraft center console for use in the Norfolk, Va area. The boat has
a
broken Eagle Ultranav mounted. If there was an up to date Eagle
product
that would use the same connections that'd be that cats meow.
This is old enough that it has Loran vice GPS.
Money is an issue so would appreciate best bang for the buck, small in
size due to small center console.


What do you mean by broken? Explain a little because it could be as
simple as a cracked crystal in the transducer - that's normally what
happens when units go bad. Need some more information though to help
out.

As to cheap units, Eagle, Humminbird and Lowrance all make inexpensive
units.
