Quote of $ 600 for disks and re pack bearings on the 4 wheels, and I decided to do it myself.

So far going ok.

Thanks for the heads up on hydro steering. I'll check too.

Phat don't think I can use a data transfer cable with my unit? There is no port that I see. Looks like I can save to a card. Does that mean I can save to a bluechart card??? I have a couple hundred numbers I manually entered in mine, while I don't use them all I'd like to have them without having to go through all that.

I was going to order the seal repair kit but upon further inspection I found that the rod has several tiny scratches and one big enough to catch on my fingernail - all in one small spot I hadn't noticed before. So I went online, found and ordered the newer version of the front mounted seastar ram for $380 + $12 shipping. Should be able to bolt it up, fill, bleed and go. The newer model is HC5345-3. I called Teleflex to make sure I could swap it for my HC5345. The Telelflex tech said the newer ram has improved seals to help prevent what apparently happened to mine.

Blue, sorry just saw the question about the cable, yes that's it, I think. How many pins does your connector have? Mine also has a usb to transfer data to a computer. Do you use the mapsource program from garmin?

no phat I'm not using the garmin software on the computer. I'm using my work laptop which is completely useless for installing software, uploading pix (anything for that matter). I need to get a laptop.

So to use the cable with usb, wouldn't I need to have the garmin software installed? Which would allow me to download on the my replacement unit?

BTW - I got the unit from the guy in FL. Good looking unit and I've tested it out - works great! We'll see how long....

Good thing is, my other unit the screen isn't all the way out, just starting. I can carry it as a backup unit.

I just now seen this. I have a like new SEASTAR ram for a YAMAHA out in the shop. The bracket that connects the ram to the engine was broken because he trimmed the engine up with the jack plate down, but other than that it was almost new. I need to snap a pic of it and see if anybody could use it, getting rid of most all of my stuff because I can't work anymore.

I most likely could have gotten away with replacing the seals. Having the old unit off the engine I am able to inspect those "scratches" a bit better. More like marks. I still can barely feel one with my fingernail...I think? Where I fish I don't want to have to second guess whether something is going to work or not!

I'll put the old unit up FS as-is with pix and get a little money back.
