HDS 5...where to buy one

[gear junkie]

In next weeks 7-17 Mar west marine sales flyer, pg 22. They're selling the HDS 5 Gen2 with 50/200 with a $100 mail in rebate. Already ordered. Giddyup.

It doesn't look like the rebate applies to that particular model?

Can someone explain to a noob what the different transducers are, and why one over the other? 83/200 versus 50/200 ???

It looks like the only difference between the units is the transducer.

Thanks!

50 is deeper water, that one is the one you want for saltwater.

I hate to burst your bubble but if I'm reading this correctly it looks like the $100 rebate is only good on the Elite units.

I C


It doesn't have any special notes on it so you might qualify for it. Did you ask about it when you purchased it? Now that I see this I'm thinking of getting the unit at WM. Worst case you can complain and they will probably give in and give you store credit if you threaten to return the unit.

you will love this meter Jorge, now you really will be the "halibut whisperer"...

Uh-oh... made some calls today and lowrance isn't honoring the rebate the talking to WM, they don't know what to do. Thinking of going jorluivil's route and buying it anyway and raising stink later. Come hell or high water an hds5 is going in my kayak.
