One of my Blue T-connectors went bad and they don't make them anymore. Anybody got a spare I can buy from them??? Pretty please!!!

Never had one fail before.

Thanks, John

Did you try LEI. You might have to try calling them or sending and email. They had some blue parts in the clearance area so they might have some more that aren't listed. Last resort might be to call Lowrance support and see if they can come up with one from their service department.

I need two (2) Blue tee connectors. Where did you find them? I've been searching everywhere. LEI doesn't show them unless in an expensive kit, and they haven't responded to my inquiry. Other sites are all showing out of stock.

I think I found some on EBAY late last night. I'll know in 4 days.

The blue network Tees have been discontinued because they are not waterproof, and they have not been reliable. I would not use them in my boat, and highly recommend converting to the current NMEA 2000 red network system. Then you won't need the conversion cables for your HDS units or other accessories.

I might have a couple still if you can't get them from somewhere else. I also have some never used conversion cables also for red to blue.

They arrived Saturday.
Thanks for the heads up about the water issue.

To help with water intrusion, use some dialetric grease on the connections when you assemble the network. This will help keep the water out and won't interfere with performance.
