You will have to send it into the Humminbird Service Center and will have to pay the service charge for an 1197 or you may want to put that money towards a new unit.

Greg, I just want to say thanks to you for helping me on the problem with my unit loosing power due to the pins in the back. I have spent my limit for this spring, so I will have to try and repair the unit. By the way I will say that Johnson products are all I use because of your outstanding service and commitment to the costumer after the sale. Where do I get the cost and shipping directions?

Are there any upgrades that we can do on the unit while it is in the shop?

Thank you so much
Derrick

You are most welcomed Derrick.
I know of no upgrades for the 1197 units other than software.
Cost and shipping/return directions:
