Well, It was bound to happen...

My Sonar finally bit the dust.  Was getting a little sketchy for a while, but now toast.  Power is getting to the unit but it is dead as a doornail.

Problem with having a good unit is I'm not sure I can mentally downgrade.  That and just praying I saved all my waypoints, or I'm starting all over.  I remember saving them to the chip, but have never explored if they were really on there or not.  I guess we'll have to see or start all over again. 

Ugh....

Sucks...and I might be right there with you. Although you do have a nicer unit. I redid my connections and still nothing. I might go the rest of the year just using the navionics on my phone.

 Just curious what kind it was ?

I hope this isn't a look into my future with the boat, bummer Tom

That sucks. Hope those waypoints are still there.

This makes me think a pencil and a piece of paper might be a wise choice for a backup, or at least a screenshot of the list of waypoints on the unit, something we never think to do

I have 700+ waypoints, so a pencil and paper is out of the question. lol

After unraveling about 8 feet of electrical tape and I found this on the old unit, so it probably still works fine, I just need to install a new power line.

always good to have a backup 

[Tim524]

All that tape and still it corrodes I hate when that happens

Fingers crossed for you Tom, keep us posted
