Went out at 530 this morning and Came back at 600! Went to cove and cut motor back only to find fish finder not working! So looked on back of boat to find nothing but a wire hanging there! The bracket that holds the transducer broke and transducer gone bye bye...spent the morning at gander mountain! B.O.A.T Bust Out Another Thousand...will be up and running this evening hopefully

It's always something..... I just picked up a new one myself from Captain's Quarters on Sat evening as the wire for the transducer on my trolling motor broke when the dang iPilot turned around one too many times.....
Good luck.....

Nice unit.... like the touch-screen from when I've played with it - curious how well it works in the winter when you have gloved hands though. Same fish-finder as in the HDS (non-touch) units. Unlike the old LCX units it seems to work well in Automatic mode, though I do think the LCX when tuned well does a better job finding fish hiding in the trees.... Main recommendation I have is turn off, or at least turn down to Low, the noise-rejection / clutter settings.

It will work - surprised you can find an LCX anywhere on the shelves... the initial HDS was introduced almost 7 years or more ago now...
