Called Humminbird to see about getting a cracked screen replaced on a 1197. They said they no longer repair screens on that model. Does anyone know of any other way to get one replaced. Thanks

That's B's the $ we pay for theses units...
Seriously !!! Do you know how many model years ago that was??? I can tell you from my customers experience that HB takes care of models way past others.
You folks need to quit complaining and appriciate the STEAL you are getting in all technology right now. Our first VCR cost $450 and we made payments on it ..........
I dang sure wouldn't call what we pay for units a steal. But as long as its been since they've produced screens and parts for those units I understand not fixing them.
There is a company that does some sonar unit repairs that may can help:

If you know someone who repairs phones professionally they may be able to. Wouldn't hurt to ask. A buddy of mine who repairs phones has recently started replacing screens on some units.
I just had HB replace the screen on a 998 was over $300. Wonder why they stopped repairing your model.....
Here is a picture of the entire repair done by by buddy, for the doubters.

If you are techy enough you can get these screens that are sandwiched for day light viewable off of E-Bay depending on size for roughly $36 and up.
Thanks guys. Guess I'll seal the cracks and use it till craps out. Then I'll bite the bullitt.
