George,
How long have I been a Lowrance guy? 20 plus years? You know me and you also know how I take care of my equipment as well.
The new 520c has two HDS Gen 2 Touch 12s on it. One has failed completely and one is loosing it's color as well, both within 13 months, and both within the 24 month warranty period.
So, will they replace them? Absolutely, with two 1 units from Mexico with 6 months warranty. Not 6 months extra warranty, unless I choose to pay $300 for an additional 6 months. Head spinning yet?
Oh, I could choose to upgrade to Gen3 for just another $1400 or so as well, still just 6 months warranty.
In excess of $6k in top of the line electronics and these are the choices you have when they go poof? Really?

Do yourself a favor and look at non touch units. Take a look at Hummingbirds new Helix units. Im confident you'll be glad you did.
