Lads every time i make a post about my boat I feel like guilty!!!Guys prob saying not this idiot again

Well i think I got my engine sorted...dont ask but now my VHF radio and gps are not working

....I have tested the vhf with hand helds but no sucess.....with the probs I have with this boat it would be unwise to go out without a VHF

...but dont get me wrong when she is right i love her and she's mine

...anyone know any marine electric guys round the Meath / Dublin Area?...I know the probs are easy fix,s just the hastle.....was comtemplating getting some hand helds but dont want to waste whats already set up!

i don't know anybody that i could recommend. Basically owning a boat is
a constant battle against corrosion and the marine environment. The reason
i think you are better off trying to fix things yourself is that if something goes wrong
miles from land, you have a chance to fix it if you know how everything works.

did both gps and vhf stop working at the same time? are they getting power?

Both getting juice...VHF just not receiving or delivering ,,,,unsure as to why and I work with VHF radio`s everyday...GPS cant lock on to position from cold or manual start.
