Good idea. Thanks for the comments. The expertise of this group is a great resource.

Great info, Thanks. I’m sure using it on my ipad would be a much better option than the phone. Dr. Bob—my Garmin unit is the Echomap CV, which we installed less than two years ago. It replaced a 14 year old Raymarine unit. The Garmin has worked fine until recently, when it began to turn off...

Thanks for the answers, guys. I’m looking at it for a backup to my Garmin system, which I’m having problems with.

Does anybody use the Navionics app on your iphone? If so, are you pleased with it? Thanks for the feedback, Gary

Thanks so much, Dr. Bob.

Hello knowledgeable group, The seal around the trim/tilt shaft on my Honda BF50 is seeping fluid. Does anyone know if there is a kit of replacement gaskets for that, or do I have to replace the entire trim tilt assembly? Thanks in advance for your help, Gary

Well, with the help of my son-in-law, we found two burnout fuses as the problem--one under the motor hood as some of you suggested and one for the radio. After replacing those, everything seemed to work fine. I feel very lucky that there seemingly was no more damage. And it's a good...

Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions. My son-in-law is an electrician, so I'm going to get him to help me trace this down. I'll start by looking for a fuse in the harness (I have 2004 motors), and go from there. This would happen right at the beginning of what promises to be a good salmon...

I just made a major mistake tonight! I was havinig electrical system problems last time I went out fishing, so today at the marina I took out the number one battery in a dual battery system to be able to clean a breaker that looked like it had corroded connections. What was a slight sprinkle...
