Re: [Electric Boats] Xantrex XBM Display parts?

Matthew:

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Your info gives me hope that I may actually be able to get a replacement screen. This XBM cost me $350 when I bought it new in 2008. I really really don't want to just toss it out. Especially since the unit works and I only need a new LCD screen. This was the best news I've had on this device in a long time.

They appear to be an OEM version of a product made by TBS in the
Netherlands.

You might have better luck with them. While they won't sell anything to
you (they told me to go to the local dealer), since they appear to the
actual engineering brains behind the Xantrax units, you just might get a
little further with them, if you a really lucky they might tell you who
they got the LCD screen from and it's part number, so you can source the
screen direct.
