I live in the Redlands area and just bought a new fishfinder. Anybody know of somebody that can install it for a good price?

Thanks

I just replaced my old unit with a new Lowrance HDS Gen 2 last night. It's really not that big of a job. What are you putting it in, is it a replacement for a consul or a bow unit?

Locally in your area it is difficult to find a Marine electronics installer. You might try calling Johnson Marine in Ontario and ask for the Lead Tech Brian. See if he will do the installation. He will probably tell you it is very busy and he may have to keep the boat for up to 5 days. He does good work.
Also I use Albert Bruyn to work on my boat electronics. He is a highly respected Auto repair specialist but also works on Boats. He is located in Rancho Cucamonga area. I will send a PM with his contact info

Surfnsnowboard3 came up to the "Redneck Riviera" yesterday and we installed the Hummingbird in his boat. A little sweat, no blood, no warrenty and no charge but it is installed. Looking forward to seeing you with it on the water. Good fishin'.
