Sounds terminal. :cry:
I would double check the voltage at the unit with a meter though, just to be sure.
There are some good deals available at the moment.

Good advice already given - well worth checking the voltage at the unit itself. If you do need to invest in a new fishfinder check out this UK supplier http://www.jgtech.com/ look especially at their clearance bargains. They deliver to Ireland and I have always found them quick and reliable.
