How It Works
About

Donate marine electronics

Owners upgrade electronics long before the old units wear out. Displays, radar, sonar, and autopilots in working order are some of the easiest equipment donations to place.

What we look at

  • Brand, model, and screen size
  • Whether it powers on and works
  • Cables, mounts, and sun covers included
  • Transducers and sensors
  • Software or chart cards

Remove it carefully

Label cables before removal and keep mounts, covers, and transducers with each unit. A complete system is worth more than separate pieces.

Makes we see often

Garmin, Raymarine, Furuno, Simrad, Lowrance, B&G, Humminbird, Icom, Standard Horizon, and FLIR.

Not on the list? It is here to help you find your boat, not to limit what we take. We accept every make and model, listed or not, including rare builders and companies that closed decades ago. A donation depends on the boat's condition and paperwork, never the name on the hull, so enter yours on the form even if you do not see it here.

Questions

Do you take older units?

Case by case. Working units a few generations old still have buyers as replacements.

Should I factory reset it?

Yes. Remove your waypoints and personal settings first.

Can I mail small items?

Ask us first. We will tell you the simplest way to send them.
