Hello Eric,

Actually we have the LCD replacement for the 3030 & 3000. It is not a
direct plug in replacement so the unit will need to be sent in to our
facility for a slight modification so we can install an adaptor board
to hold to new LCD. It works great and will give your old faded 3030
new life. You can contact us at

Steve,

I thought that Datamarine was no longer in business. Perhaps you
could answer my question. I have a Datamarine depth sounder but
cannot figure out any way to adjust the reading to give me an accurate
depth since the transducer is a few feet below the waterline. I have
a manual for a slightly more modern Datamarine depth sounder on
another boat, but it also does not have any instructions on how to
compensate for the location of the sounder. Any help would be
appreciated.
