I ordered my I-pilot from them, not realizing they were not connected with MinnKota at all. I thought it was the MinnKota factory's outlet or I would never have ordered it. However, it came in very quickly and has worked perfectly since I put it on the boat.
I just find the name they market under a bit misleading. If you google almost any brand name, say Humminbird, they will show up as "Humming Bird Factory Outlet". I know it is my responsibility to know who I am buying from, but that is really misleading.
No problems though, so guess I was lucky.

I agree with yall on the factory outlet thing, but I will say we ordered a depth finder from HB factory outlet and have not had any problems with it, I thought it was straight from HB factory as well. I definately reccommend spending the extra $100-150 to get the map. You will not be able to use the map to it's full capabilities without the chip. As far as which unit, I am not a Lowrance man anymore. They make a good product and alot of people like them, but their costumer service is terrible in my opinion. They did not and would not cover the warranty for us on the last lowrance we bought.
