[QUOTE="Ponyroper, post: 322201, member: 423"] I did end up buying the boat and ended up with 2 Onix 10's. The sellers original unit, which he bought 4 or 5 years ago, crashed and froze last year when he tried to install an update. It's totally dead and won't even reboot. He bought a used head unit on E-Bay that works good and he gave me the dead unit with the deal. He said he called Humminbird support and they told him if he wanted them to work on it he would have to send along a deposit of $1000 which he decided not to do when he found the used unit on E-Bay for the same cost. Humminbird told him if they couldn't fix his Onix they might replace it with a new Solix. He said it was up to me if I wanted to take my chances sending in the cash and the dead unit. Gonna have to do a little more research on this. I'm going to look around to see if there is any private party who works on dead Onix's. The working one on the boat sure impressed me but then all I have to compare it to is a 5 year old Lowrance Elite HDI 7. The new boat has an Evenrude 175 Ficht model motor and Russ at Mandan Boatworks told me he doesn't have the tools or software to work on those motors and he thinks the only shop in the state that might be able to work on them in in Bottinoue. Does anyone know if there are other places to get Evenrude work done in case I have a problem. The seller was from Minneapolis and he said there are all kinds of shops down there that work on Evenrudes. [/QUOTE]
