I love garmins gps but there depthfinders suck. The best bang for your buck is the eagle depthfinder.

My dad has an Eagle that is still kicking, it is about 26 years old. The technology is outdated but the unit has been used and abused and still going.

Not sure about that dude. I find that the combo gps/fishfinders give more problems,better off with 2 units IMO.

They can fix it,you will have to send it to lowrance to see how much it would cost to fix.

Look at the Lowrance Elite 5 ...might be more than you are willing to spend though.
