Thinking about adding electronics to the front of my boat.(do I need it,,,,,, no I don't). I had Garmin in the research... now after the transducer problem. I am leary...... What else is being swept under the rug? Why doesn't Garmin offer free exchange on transducers? I was researching Lowrance, Humminbird, and Garmin. Do I need to drop Garmin and replace with Raymarine. Since money is tight just trying to get the best bang for buck, plus ....everybody wants to get the best and spend their money wisely.Anyone with any other feelings or comments. Wonder why Garmin has made no attempt to justify or rebute the claims.
