Re: Electronics again
A couple of quick points.
First, try ebay for things like old transducer cables and the like. I cut the cable to my Furuno combo GPS/ff unit and got the best deal on ebay for the replacement.
Second, it has been my experience that the new electronics are much better than the older technology.
For example, I have a Fununro 1623CF combo GPS/FF unit that cost $1,695 in 2001. Last summer I bought a Garmin 178C GPS/FF unit for about $600, and the Garmin unit is much better. It has better color, more bells and whistle (like telling me the tides) and much better GPS mapping capabilities.
Good luck.
