Jim Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 Hi Charlie, Just searched my old computer. I can't find a phone number, but did find this. Try sending an email. He was REALLY helpful. mhall@sail-force.com I think he is part of Navico. HTH Jim Quote
wotu2uk Posted January 25, 2010 Report Posted January 25, 2010 To complete this little tale, I updated my HDS7, and met Nigel with his HDS5X. My lack of familiarity with the upgrade procedure for the 5X led to a total cock-up. Nigel's unit still needs updating and my HDS7 suffered software failure and has gone back to Navico for repair. I would suggest to Nigel that the nice people at Marine Electronic Supplies, here in Poole could arrange a faultfree upgrade for him. To cap it all my alternator has gone bang, so I am having my charging system upgraded to twin batteries, etc. I hate the thought of drifting towards Old Harry and the engine failing to start.

pirky Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 SH*T..........with all that effort I hoped this thread was going to end on a good note. Soz to hear it didn't and hope it all gets sorted without too much expense !! Dave Quote
wotu2uk Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 To continue the sad saga, Got the HDS 7 head unit back from repair at navico yesterday, fitted it to the boat, and they have done NOTHING. Still no sonar, still software hung up. Sending it back again on Monday John Quote
