Reconditioned HDS units

Seems to be quite a few reconditioned HDS units available, particularly at Cabelas. Have there been significant issues with the new units?

I think the main issue with a majority of the defective returns

was a screen adhesive problem. Units were taking

on water because the adhesive failed.

This was when the line was first introduced and they have since remedied the problem.

Are they offering the same 2 year warranty on the reconditioned units?

Welcome to IDO as well

I know Best buy and walmart put there returns back on the market this way after they are check-out to make sure nothing wrong

So maybe cabela’s does 2

good way to save a few bucks

I got a GPS thur walmart that had better software in it then what I got from best buy that was suppose to b brand new

the walmart refub one had 2.0 usb interface and the best buy one did not same model was over half off with 6 month warranty and U still can beat return policy at cabela’s, walmart, sam,s and many more just keep your paperwork

also WELCOME to this great site 4 some good info

hopefully someone else can verify this

That is a flag in my book not to buy it, taking on water is not a good thing in a boat.

Off the Cabelas website for refurbished Lowrance units: “One-year warranty”

New products carry a 2 year warranty so its not too bad but my opinion with Lowrance, from experience, is you will need every warranty day you can get.

My current Lowrance units are working fine. However, I’m being tempted by the side/down imaging thing. The stuff’s not cheap, so I want to make the right call the first time.

Thanks for the input.
