Hummingbird 525

[Les Young]

Had 1 problemwith keeping a lock on bottom. This unit came on a boat I bought from a buddy of mine. I talked with Humminbird Greg on Bass Boat Central & he told me what to do & it has worked perfectly ever since.I'm going to buy a 581i to go in console for the gps & I will be moving the 525 to the trolling motor too. You can do some tweaking to the adjustments on the 525 & it's sure enough a pretty good cheap unit.

I really appreciate everyones input on this model...I was skeptical because I read a few bad reviews on it, but now I actually have some first hand info and that makes me feel much better...As of now I think I'm gonna keep it and order a dash mount kit so that I can mount it flush in the front of boat. I found them on hummingbird's website and they run about $34...Turkey- what kind of cover were you suggesting? Thanks JD

cabelas has neoprene face covers on sale from 5-10 dollars buy one...the sun and morning dew are hard on a unit if you do not take care of them!
