Well, it will get deleted if I spell it out - but I'm sure you can imagine
EXACTLY what I'd like for 'em to do with 'em

This is not about the worth of the old unit, but about acting responsibly,
taking care of their customers - they sold us junk, and knew it.
And now we should pay full-pop to fix it???

Can most of ya'll have imagined back, oh say 5 years or so ago, that
average working Joes would be raiding the piggy bank to buy $1,000-
$2,000 or more fishfinders? I felt like I'd really been extravagant when
I shelled out $380 for an Eagle Optima. And you know what, that thing
never gave a minutes trouble, worked as advertised, and when I sold
the boat 8 years later, it was still working. Never had to update any
software, or worry about was it gonna lock up and have to be sent back
to the factory when I tried to update it. Imagine that.

Like I stated earlier, it's up to them - if they want to be a player,
the opportunity is here, or if they want to be considered junk again and
and shunned by serious boaters, that can happen pretty quick also.
