Re: Just ordered a Lowrance Elite-5 Combo
Well I've been using the unit for about 4 months an average of four days a week and its outside in the weather flushed into my console in a slip by the ocean. I have 0 complaints about this unit. Menus are fast and common sense. Display data and fonts are so customizable. It's sunlight visibilty is amazing. I actually run mine in nightime mode most of the time cause its a bigger color contrast from land to water. It's base map has much more than one would expect. The sounder is fast and has excellent deeper water clarity. My ducer is shoot-thru mounted with the t/m ducer which I raised an eyebrow at but has worked great so far. My only complaint was I waited 3 months for a nmea cable and a cover so when I say its in the weather it is. Fighting the water spots isn't fun on electronics. For $490 and what it can do I am quite happy. Knock on wood.
