Yep, cracked face place and water is pouring out of it. It's probably
been that way for some time.


Ah - well in that case, the head unit is bad.

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 - not at all. The original post was kind of vague in that respect.

No, I didn't try turning it on. Figured that was futile.


Agreed.

As to finding a replacement display, that may be problematic. You
might find one on eBay or you could place an add in craigslist or your
local want/sale magazine, but for that old a unit, I suspect not.

Newer units will probably not work with that transducer as old as it
is and most certainly the connectors won't fit.

If you are looking for something inexpensive, try Wal-Mart - they have
inexpensive Eagle units - less than $100. You might want to try eBay,
but in my experience, eBay is useless for anything now days.
