Take it to Rhinelander and the guys will be more than happy to jump on it.

I have a Lowrance Global Map 2000 GPS and fish finder unit on my champion
bass boat currently. There's a button or two that's acting kinda funny and
Lowrance tells me the unit can no longer be repaired, but they will swap
it out for a not so bad price.

Here's my question. Can anyone tell me how many hours it should take to
remove the old unit, shoot through hull transducer etc and put the new
one in. I got a quote from a new service dept I've been using (their
hours to repair stuff seems to be all over the charts) and I can't
believe it's accurrate. Their estimate is $1009. and if their rate is
like $50.00 an hour that's half a dang work week! I'm not very
mechanically minded, but I just can't believe that's an accurrate price.
Labor would be more expensive than the similar unit I'd replace it with!

Anybody have any ideas. . . . and NO . If I tried to do it myself as
mechanically minded as I am it would blow the boat up first thing I
turned it on. So that's not an option for me.

To give you an idea of how difficult a job it is, I did my ProCraft
locator install in the back alley behind the firehouse while on duty.
Come to think of it, that's where I installed the locator for my Cobra
too. It's about a two hour job max!
