Lowrance hds7 touch owners
 

Looking for some feed back on this unit. Just sold my garmin 441s. Loved it no problems. I want a bigger unit. I want to switch over to lowrance. Garmin 740 series is nice but its just like the iphone bigger better but all the same. Lowrance is like android requires a little more to operate. Charts look awesome imaging etc.

Whats the scoop on the hds7 touch on your bay boat.

Im about to upgrade to a newer lowrance. The one I currently have is gonna go on my front deck. My only dislike about lowrance is the poor quailty basemap. You have to buy a navionics card or the insight version. They are also about to come out with an insight HD chip for about half the price of a navionics chip next month. I had a garmin on my last boat and it was easier to use but lacked some of the functions of the lowrance

Lowrance
 

Check out online Louisiana Sportsman report section. Someone compared a recent Lowrance with a Garmin and the clarity of the Lowrance was amazing. I think it was Century Man that gave the report come to think of it.

I never cared for touch screens....they get full of oil and grime from your fingers and constantly have to clean them. Personally I would go with the regular HDS.

That was my thought too... now do I get the 7 or the 8 is my problem

1k for the HDS7....cheapest I seen the HDS8 was 1,650. Even though the 8 has more features I just can't justify spending that much for a 1" bigger display. This is the company I have used in the past. http://www.thegpsstore.com/GPS-Fishfinders-C38.aspx?m=7

Got my hds 7 fer 799!!! Ebay son!!!

1st or 2nd generation? If it's gen 2 you got a damn good deal.

2nd generation bro

With the ducer? Got a link? Been waiting to buy one but for that price I will order right now.

No ol jw gave me a transducer. Dat was my ace in da hole. But buy it without, and hit ebay up fer ducer, wayyy cheaper!!

Not sure with lowrance, I will look it up but I know garmin will not warranty units bought on eBay. Buyer beware

Word

How can they prove you bought it on ebay?

Unlike Shimano reels, they have serial numbers on the units.

If you can get the 8 its actually almost 2 inches bigger (i think like 6.4 and 8.3) and if you had a chance to use them both you would realize how much the soft keys make things so much easier.

and the gen 2 is much quicker

Yeah I played with em both at cabelas the other day.

I was wondering about that cause Ive been looking at some used gen 1 units. I bet they are still way faster than my old lms 337 though

The touch units are great but we sell more of the regular gen 2 3 to 1 for sure. Putting on a HDS 10 full system this week with radar, 1000 watt transducer, and xm weather. Also 2 hds 7 with side scan shipped out today. Lowrance is a great system and has drastically improved over the years. We record all the serial numbers as we are a premier dealer and warranty service center

Just checked your site....your cheaper than thegpsstore.com. Will make a purchase soon. Do you sell the ram mounts to fit the hds7?

fix it for you

I'm installing a 7" on bow and the 10" next to console of new nitro Z-7 this coming weekend.

Yessir they do. I bought it from a dealer on ebay. Just got my rebate in yesterday. Structure scan here i come

Can I hook up the lowrance sirius receiver to my fusion 200 series radio?

I going to add the side image box to my Lowrance

I found a good deal on a gen 1 HDS 5 and structure scan. I'm seriously considering just going with 2 5's on the dash, 1 gen 1 and 1 gen 2.

Just wanted to let you know. I talked to my Lowrance rep and you have warranty on your product if bought off of Ebay if the original warranty card is in the box. Make sure when purchasing their is a warranty card in their before hand!
