eagle 500c locater

[Lakebum]

After hitting the jackpot with gift cards to BASSSS PRRROOO SHHHHOPPPP from employees, wife, son and daughter I intend to replace my front locater on my procraft. I am looking at the Eagle 500c to replace my eagle 320. I did ok with the 320 it lost its screen after a couple of years. I dont think I need gps on the front of the boat so that will keep cost down. i am looking at color this time because the grey scale was hard to read with sunglasses on, I'm told color makes that better. Anyone have expeience with this unit?

Cabelas has 510c on sale for $349.00. Bass Pro might match price

I have one and the color is great, even with sunglasses on. I recently started experiencing a problem with the display acting up. If I have the unit off, but power connected, it will turn itself on and start flashing and beeping. I am waiting on a reply from Eagle as to what the problem will be, but I suspect the display will have to be replaced. The unit is 2 to 3 years old.

I live in Tulsa where Lowrance/Eagle is located. I lost the display in the Eagle 320 I currently have. I went to the factory and they dont offer repair. They will let you purchase a refurbished unit with warranty. At the time the 320 was selling for 159.00 and I could get a refurbished unit for 99.00.
