Maybe the wireless is with all of the Gen 3's?  I thought it was only the 12.

My 83/200, usually on 200, has no problem hitting 500', even at 24 mph. If it's deeper than that, it really doesn't matter to me.   ;)
The wireless is with all the gen 3's. It's the gen 2's that need the module :tup:

Interesting.

I've had no problems with my 2013 HDS5. Still waiting to test it to see if it survived the latest dunking.

I really liked the look of the RayMarine demo mode that I saw yesterday, but their website is horrible to try to figure out what hardwre I would need to actually get the screen to show what I want it to show.

Does anyone know if my NMEA 2000 fuel flow meter will work on any NMEA2000 compatible unit?

That doesn't bode well for Lowrance.

And that's only 1 of the threads Ive seen!  That many complaints from what is a relatively small user group is enough to scare me away from Lowrance. I need a new unit for my boat. 7". Having a hard time deciding between the Raymarine Dragonfly 7 pro and the Garmin 73 sv. Don't think Raymarine has Side view so will probably go with Garmin.
