With the help of a couple of videos on you tube for confidence I replaced the seals. It was straightforward with no puller needed, and no more leaks. It only took about an hour from start to finish. The biggest pain was bleeding the lines of air. Now I will install the new chart plotter and do...

I have a lcx-104c and it will not lock on to satellites for some reason. It has done this several times in the past and I have been able to make it work by doing a gps auto search in the past. I tried this again yesterday and it shows that it is picking up satellites but will not lock on. Does...
