If your synchronizer is a Glendinning, they can probably fix it at a decent price. Great service and nice folks. The are in South Carolina, Conway I think.

I'll second giving Glendinning a call. Very nice people who will help you trouble shoot your problem.

I third the sentiment, the family owned company stands by their amercan made products and are remarkable in their ability to troubleshoot and correct problems on ALL their products.

Give-em a call, you will be amazed.

Our Glendinning sync hadn't worked since we got the boat back in early 2006. This week, Ed ran into one of our back up captains who is extremely familiar with these things and spent a little time talking with him. That sparked Ed's interest to go look at our Glendinning.

...all this time....4.5 years....nobody thought to check the fuse. What fuse??? Ed found and replaced the fuse (I think he said it was under the box or something like that) and the unit was fixed!!!

I like it when it's that easy, but embarassed that it took all these years to figure it out. Obviously, it wasn't high on our priority list...now it's off the list! At least it's something we can look back on an laugh about.

So if your Glendinning appears to be dead...go check the fuses.

I have driven a few boats with the Glenndining (or however you spell it). Nice system. Anyone know how much it costs to retrofit one?
