The key to Lowrance is that it is temperamental & if you have someone that understands the systems you can work through it. My brothers Duckworth is decked out but a guy in Portland he bumped into installs, sets up all types, and knows the ins and outs. Hauled the boat down, full install and trouble shoot and go pick it up. Fishing last year crap flying, cell from out a ways on the blue and what hell is this? He walked us through, ABC's and good to go.

There are better systems to be sure but as in all things if you don't have someone who knows the system then with Lowrance your in deep sh--!
