My new hds5 worked 1 day, then the GPS map would frequently freeze for an hour or 2, before it would update my location. I sent in the head unit for repair, and they sent me another brand new unit in the box complete with another transducer, cables, etc, within a couple of weeks, from the date I mailed it.
I haven't tried the replacement out yet, and I haven't been in the rain with it yet. I did have a 522c unit that quit the 1st time out in the rain though.
I've seen numerous water intrusion issues from others. You will want to make sure to fish in a driving rainstorm a few times to make sure it's water tight before the warranty expires.
