Lowrance HDS

HI Crew,

 

Considering purchasing a Lowrance HDS 5 (just the sounder, not the combo). Anyone had anything to do with them? Opinions...good or bad?

gday MG

ive not long had the HDS 7 unit in the tub and i cant speak highly enough of it... beautiful unit in all aspects and very easy to use. only difference is as you say that mine has chart plotter also... well worth the money but every one has different ideas... shop around and you may find something you like elsewhere? good luck mate
