Thanks ezgo....This, also is what HB needs to hear...HB is losing customers simply because of the "Donut"....

There's got to be more people out there just like ezgo who are trying to decide HB or Low and are reluctant to buy HB because of the "Donut"...

Call HB and tell 'em...1-800-633-1468

If it was an easy fix, it would probably would have been fixed by now.

I have pretty much always used Lowrance products and just installed a new HDS-8, a Elite-5 DSI and a LSS-1 on the boat I bought last fall. I looked at the HB stuff while I was shopping, the prices were fine and the down/side scan images were impressive, but in the end the donut was a deal breaker. So far I'm very impressed with the units I have.

When I sold my old boat and bought a newer old boat last year, I sold the HB's with it for the same reason. Got 2 HDS-5's and LSS-1 and ethernet. Have set on a single submerged tree in wind and never lost my spot or wondered where I was.

I do that too, all the time with a HB. I can tell exactly where to keep my boat positioned over small structure, but I have run off and forgot my bouy marker a lot, :p

haha. good one.
