    Lowrance LCX-27C Stuck in DEMO Mode

    I just took it out of the box, hooked up the power and the antenna, turned it on and I can't get it out of Demo(Simulator) Mode. Looked through the manual, nothing about taking it out.. It's got to be something simple, I turned it off and on 5 times, no change. Thanks

    2000 200hp with oil leaking from under cowling?

    I love the motors, but after running them hard I've noticed that oil is seeping from under the cowling. I've had a local mech. look at it, but he couldn't get it to leak. The mech. took of the cowling to look and found nothing. Any idea's? Thanks, I'm glad I found this web site!
