I've had nothing but trouble with Lowrance, several units.

Went to H/bird in 4 different boats & have never had a problem.

Some like Chevy's, some like fords

Have had both. Lowrance has held up the best for me. Hummingbird only lasted 1.5 years and I would not buy Hummingbird products again. That being said, all this new technology such as side scanning and 3D, don't think I can compare apples to apples now. Good luck
