Depth sounder
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. Thanks, John |

Thank you Charlie. I was hoping that I could use the same connections so
I don't have to cut the decking up to run the cable. John Perhaps I should email Eagle. John "Charlie Morgan" wrote in message ...

At the price you can buy a spare to make you feel better, but you probably won't ever need it. CWM |

Yeah, the head unit is cracked and full of water. When I said broke, I
meant broke! LOL I don't know how it happened. No telling, My dad wasn't concerned with it and mom probably never used it other than now and then to check depth for rocks.

John You might even want to watch for another one of what you have to come up on Ebay, or other sources of used stuff. Are you sure the cables or connectors aren't the problem?

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. |

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. John "Short Wave Sportfishing" wrote in message ... On Thu, 24 May 2007 12:51:14 -0400, "Midlant" wrote: Any experience or advice would be greatly appreciated.

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. |
