Does anyone know of a location or company where you can bring a boat that is in need of repair for things such as my Lowrance X-17M GPS/Sonar. Please no tips on how to fix it! Looking in the Chicago area.

Slamr, Maybe try Wilrae in Bridgeview. They do lots of stuff for boats there. If he can't fix it he could at least recommend.

Thanks Matt. Found this info on a Wilrae, I'm guessing this is the place you were referring to?

If the problem is power related, Keith can fix it. If it's the unit, he'll know and it will have to go in to Lowrance.

Thanks Steve! I'm guessing it's something amazingly simple....something that my simpleton of a brain cant fix! Need to start hitting the big pond next weekend and just want to make sure I can make it back to shore!

I can give a positive recommendation for Water Werks II also. They have done quality work on my rig.

I'll fix it. Or I'll bust it beyond belief. Either way when I'm done there won't be any question what's wrong with it

Slamr, one of the guys at Waterworks is a member of our club if I'm not mistaken. Might be worth checking them out if for no other reason than its the only way you'll ever get to know any of the FRV guys!
