It will be interesting to see how long this "improved" unit lasts. I feel like I'm getting a pretty good deal as if you look for HC5345-3 you can pay up to $600 or more.

I took my leaking unit for a cruise on the lake yesterday. I topped off the fluid at the helm as best I could. Definitely lots of slop in the steering but we were just putting around mostly. Had to blow the cobwebs out of the engine. lol

Blue, I think u have to have mapsource to download the info to the computer, then connect the new machine and upload to it.

Might want to call garmin support and ask them with the machine model #'s

Let me know if you need this cable, your welcome to use it, I got it on amazon for about $15. We'd have that much in shipping back & forth.

Yea Phat, saw it online for about that price and was thinking exact same thing about shipping back and forth. Appreciate the offer though. Think I'm just going to plug in the handful of numbers I actually use and not worry too much about the other ~150.

My brother in law helped me install the replacement seastar ram this evening. Not too bad. Got it bled, so far no leaks. The newer units also have zerk fittings on the mounts, which is where they tend to get seized in to the tilt rod from corrosion. Also they added a ground wire from the rod to the engine mount that is supposed to limit corrosion. In addition to the supposed improved seals....I'm glad to see teleflex delivering improvements to common issues with their product!

Went to rewire the trailer - wiring harness too short. Why in the world doesn't it say on the package how long the harness is?!?!?!?!?
