Looking to replace this unit

i am going to stick with Garmin and would like to use the cables and transducer I already have it is a 19 pin cable, rerunning cables is a pain 

any suggestions for a replacement

There is a coin cell battery in the unit that could be dead, measure with a voltmeter and replace it needed.

I will look today but when I called Garmin they said there was no battery 

but I will look today

Great.

If you DIY, get soldering iron to hot temperature prior to soldering the wire to the battery so that minimum time is needed in order to prevent the battery popping to over heat.

Also use some type of adhesive like glue gun to adhere the battery in place
