Don't go cheap. Good electronics can many times be the difference between fish and no fish. You get what you pay for.
Friends use Furuno and Raymarine. Both love both. To each their own. Its just a matter of spending the time to really learn how to use them to their fullest capabilities.
My shore electronics fail often as well..............

Before you buy a new one, check your ground wire at the fuse block and at the battery. A weak ground connection often shows up first as a loss of satellite reception (or at least it used to with loran and I think I've had it with GPS as well).

 we have the raymarine C120 it is awesome and very accurate. It is a bigger unit than you probably need but they make several smaller ones that are great as well. |
