Title: Fish Finder Repair
Post by: Kennard on May 16, 2011, 10:17:44 AM

I have a Zercom LPG 2000 that will not turn on. All fuses are good and the unit is getting power.  Zercom is no longer in business, they were bought out by hummingbird and they will no longer repair them. Anyone know a place that repairs fish finders?

Welcome to the site.  I don't know of anyone.

But I found this..

I have a Humminbird Legend 2000 Deep(made by Zercom) that had the same problem. Mine was in warranty when it happened and they "fixed" it. It worked for two days. I finally took it apart and found the problem. There is no support for the main circuit board and after several cycles of the power switch, the board moves back in the housing and then the power button no longer makes proper contact. I actually had mine get stuck on! I cut a few small pieces of thin wood, glued them in, in strategic places...no more problems since then...3 yrs ago. Hope this helps.

Not sure what the value of the unit is, but in some instances, Its just better to by a new unit due to the repair costs.

Was wondering if you still have the Zercom LPG 2000? I am looking for a transducer for mine.

You can e mail me at yellowllab@yahoo.com

You can try Wintron in Spring Lake.  They may be able to help.

I have a 5 year old humminbird 917c, The temperature reading does not work properly. The temp is way off. Humminbird fixed it once already under warrantee and said the circuit went bad. But now they want a flat rate of around 300 bucks to fix it again. Im not going to fix it because of the high cost and all the other functions are still working.
