Can the screen on my Garmin 172C GPSMAP be replaced? It came with my boat in 2006. The GPS seems to work properly, but the screen is blurred.

First check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8_V3c89w_U. Using those instructions it's possible you could repair the screen. Otherwise, see if Garmin can provide a new screen at a reasonable price: use the contact information here--https://www.contacthelp.com/garmin/customer-service. If you want to look for used screens, a good resource is http://www.searchtempest.com/, which will provide many useful filters, will let you search locally or country-wide and even globally, and covers Craigslist, eBay, Amazon, and many other sources. Good luck!
