As most of you know, I have had a battle with the new depth finders. I have been told time and again that the water intrusion problems have been solved and it looks like i'm being told the truth. I now have an HDS-7 on the front of my boat and an HDS-8 at the console. I figured while they're still under warranty I'd take a water hose to them. Guess what....... They passed the test. Now I can just sit back and enjoy. Any of you considering buying one of these things will NOT be disappointed. My only suggestion would be to make sure the manufacturing date is newer than July. I would suspect that anyone having older stock will still have water intrusion problems. Also, Lowrance has had a large infusion of funds to help take care of their customer service issues. Now, lets FISH.
