There are lots of Lowrance users having problems with water getting into their units. They then have to send them back & lots of them have said they by chance replace them & then they have the same problems. They also say the customer service has hit rock bottom.If you don't believe this look at Bass Boat Central under the Lowrance GPS forum. I can't believe Navico has let Lowrance quality & service get to this point. It's pitiful IMO as they were definitley #1 by far. I've had Lowrance units that were pretty much bullet proof & some have been junk, which can happen with anything. I however have never had a single problem from Humminbird. I just ordered a new 581i for the console the other day for this very reason. Humminbird is also waterproof & absolutley the best customer service of anyone bar none. As stated before it's a matter of preference & both companies side & down imaging are unbelievable. Pick what you have the best faith in period
