Lowrance GPS Antenna

While fishing off of Neah Bay last week, I took a power hit that knocked down the Lowrance lms-337c , Fishfinder and VHF. I am not quite sure what happened.
At any rate everything came back on, but now I get a message "GPS Module not Responding" . At this point I suspect the antenna.
Does anyone have a similar Lowrance setup I could plug into to see if it is the antenna?
If anyone is looking to part with a chartplotter, I may be interested.
Please help save the Sea Kitten
Thanks

Go for the connections first. Loose or bad your toast. Looked around the net and this link is representative of the results. http://www.thebassbarn.com/forum/9-tackle-box/109176-lowrance-problem-need-help.htmlThe Hull Truth (THT) board has a lot of discussion also. Mostly EC & the Gulf folks but problem stays the same.

dazed and confused, the fog is closing in!
I hate the fog.
I have traced the power source back to the 3amp fuse. That goes to another fuse block and those are all good as well. Perhaps I will try looking again, but still hope to locate another antenna to hook up to.

I have one I recently took off my boat as the newer Lowrance units have an integrated antenna. I could loan it to you to test. Send me a PM to arrange. I work in downtown Seattle.

Jeff- If your GPS puck is a LGC 2000...you might be screwed unless you get lucky and find a replacement stateside. I have a Lowrance globalmap in my Arima and its a great unit with tons of all my waypoints on it, with the exact same error. These GPS pucks are known to fail. I've looked several times over the last two years for a replacement puck and cant find one anywhere except really overpriced used ones in China. uh, no thanks

Thanks for the replies. I have a 3000 on hand now (thanks again!) and I have a red to blue cable on the way. I am sure hoping it works.
