    I have a 15.5 that runs, but no power output. Anyone know a good electrician in the Jekyll Island, Fernandina Beach area?

    Man did you pick the wrong place for that to happen. Best suggestion I can give is to contact the marina in Fenadina Beach
    Joe Springer, Marina Manager
    Kevin Little, Dock Master
    3 S. Front Street
    Fernandina Beach, FL 32034

    Ph: (904) 310-3300

    Maybe some of the commercial boats there will have a lead for you. Depending which way you're heading and where you are another suggestion would to contact the Golden Isles Marina on St. Simons Island 912-634-1128. I think they would be your best bet .

    I will check with Joe tomorrow when we get to Fernandina. Had to duck in to Jekyll Harbor this morning when the Sound looked like something from 'Deadliest Catch'.............:eek::eek:

    If that was the SX460 AVR that fried. It happens sometimes. I have one in inventory. Whole end will take a few days.
    Could use the model off of the gen end. Should start with BC & bunch of numbers.

    It's really nice to hear members getting helped out by other members. I've met a few (and helped) members from YF's and everyone has been a really good person.
