Breaking point: if it's broke, don't fix it
Article Abstract:
It is often better to replace marine electronic equipment than to invest in repairs if the gear is outmoded or discontinued. Water damage and installation costs are other considerations. Sometimes installation costs can be reduced by using some components of the old equipment.

Article Abstract:
The newest boat electronics are not necessarily the best ones. Functioning electronics that meet the needs of the boat owner should not be replaced, but upgraded as equipment parts improve and become available. Upgrades are more cost efficient than purchases of new equipment.
