I bought a used Garmin 185C sounder and I'm looking to get a chip for it that covers from Sandy Hook down to Manasquan, any idea's where to begin looking?
-
Have you tried Garmin?
-
It's a discontinued model number. I think from 1999. I can look..
I didn't know if there was a generic chip you can use or if it has to be a Garmin.
-
It has to be a brand/type the unit supports. Navionics,C-map, bluenav, etc.

The first place I would call is Consumers Marine Electronics in Wall. They have a helpful sales staff, MOST of the time. TT^

Thanks for your input and no, it's not for sale.

Well...the unit had a Garmin Navionics MGUS241SS (Offshore Rumson-Atlantic City) chip in it. I'm not going to need that.
Now the search to find a chip for more northern waters.
-
Look for the Garmin Navioncs chip that covers the area you want. Start with Ebay for used (and to sell the one you don't need).
-
It's the "micro" G-Chart and it's discontinued by Garmin.
Thanks mboy.....e-bay is my next stop.
-

Thanks, but I'm going to put a hard top on it at some point. Internal antenna won't help me then.
-
t^ t^you can alway sell it , dont get a hard top , they just get in the way. I went on markmartins boat and his t-top was in the way when I went to cast bngh

Sam
call Consumers Marine Electronics in WAll......if it is available they can get it or help you out TT^
-
Sam, that unit is REALLY old. Like 10 years I believe,. I would really reco selling it and finding something modern with modern charts available.
This would probably serve you well unless you wanted to up the budget.

I purchased my trim tabs and lmf-400 from them. Fast shipping, no tax and free shipping over $400 electronics.
$500, this is a REALLY good bet!
Maps built in.
Me, I went crazy when I found the piece of broken crap that the nice guy broker f*cked me on and I bought me a nice 10" Standard Horizon unit for a god chunk of change :)
No regrets as I LUV it.
-
I called Consumers Marine and they said they couldn't get the chip either.
I was on that website this morning Mike.
Looks good. t^
-
Yeah, I dont think they have had those chips since almost 2000. At least I heard they hadn't been updated since 1997.
I really think that is your best bet if looking to get way as inexpensively as possible (which I usually am in most cases).
Built in maps, ext antenna and includes transducer for $506 delivered. Seems like a winner.
i THINK my man Young Gull has a similar unit.
