I bought a Lowrance HDS 5 GEN2 almost 3 years ago at West Marine. Best price w/rebate at the time. A good deal. I fish structure a lot and need a split screen. A 5" screen works fine but the pictures get tight. My unit allows a split screen(navigating & fish finder) PLUS bottom lock or zoom. Pretty damn good options right there but that's 3 looks on a 5" screen...
I've always stored it while launching and landing but still had to get it turned in (3) different times due to issues. Electronics and kayaks...
On the last problem the WM person said "Dude, I can get you into an HDS 7 Gen 2 for $100. And if you buy a protection plan for this unit, it'll be covered for 4 years. Wh...What? Okay? What other store will take your purchase price from 3 years ago and apply it to a new unit?
I felt dirty leaving the store. No better place to buy your electronics.
