I have a 1978 SRV220CC and have put in a new motor, batteries and other workings. I now want to add USB ports for charging of devices while out on the water. I have not got a radio, plotter, depth/fish finder either and am looking for some advice for doing these. Please let me know what has...

The cord on my radio handset is cracking and freying. The radio is no longer manufactured so I'm hoping someone changed their Northstar for something else and wants to get rid of the handset.:smt100
I am only able to send and recieve on my Norstar NS100 at close range. The VHF performs the same when I completly remove the antenna cable from the main unit, so I am conviced I either have a bad antenna or a bad cable run to my antena from the VHF. I have checked all cable connections to the...

My Raymarine 215 on my 340 has gone silent. I haven't checked connections yet, but it powers up and changes channel, just no sound. Has anyone ever run into this and found a fix without shipping it back for a $149 repair?
