Hi All,
My Garmin 5212 is slowly disintegrating. Works fine, but the plastic around the screen has gotten to the point where it has cracked around all the screws holding it to the body and the screen has little shadow developing around the center.
That said, I can get one from Max Marine Electronics for a boat buck that has a new screen, but figured it might be better to spend that money on something new.
Trying to find an upgrade option that will be an easy to swap in. Seems like a 7612 would be nice as you can find them for a reasonable price, but I don't want to change everything that is already working (sonar, radar, autopilot)
Would love thoughts and suggestions.
TIA!
Kevin
