I have a B&G network depth sounder that has failed me.
Doing a normal search on WM, defender, etc and google search and I have yet to find anybody in the US that carries the dam thing. I was just going to order a new one and then send off the unit to get repair. So, A. anybody know a online dealers of B&G in usa B. whats my chances of finding another more popular unit (say raymarine) that will drop in replacement, ie know new holes for transducer/display? thx, Tom |

There are a few breakers around, but you may be in for a new system. Nothing lasts forever. Years ago we bought a used Honda Civic. After a few years we needed some parts only to be told by the Honda dealer that it only stocks parts for Civics less than 5 years old. I had all B&G stuff on my boat. Never again. -paul |

I recently ordered a part for my B&G wind speed indicator. $140 for a
$10 part. The outfit was down in Florida and was listed online as a B&G repair facility. I hate it when they can squeeze gonads like that. |

Surely you can't be still using their gear in the US? Dennis. |

I'm going to try to find a drop in replacement otherwise this is going to get expensive: haulout, fiberglass work to change hole for transducer, etc....#$%#$ |
