i worked in the aviation industry for a long time and avionics racks would destroy these pins on a regular basis. I'm not familar with your ff but you might take a drive up to Palomar Airport and have the local Radio/Avionics guys take a look at it.

I like that idea. I live only a couple miles away from Palomar Airport. I am over the 1 year warranty so I don't think Lowrance will do anything about it. I'll see what the crafty avionics guys might be able to do.

Even an hour of their time should be cheaper than another FF unless you want one!
