Anyone out there usng a 332C? I have two on my boat. Nothing but problems lately. :mad:
What's it doing?? I don't have a 332c, but I have a 522c, so what's up??:D
Jigster. Call Linda Colt at Lowrance. Her direct line is 918-438-8747. Tell her your problems and she WILL :D take care of ya!!! <*)}}}><
Mine has an issue with the unit turning itself on, but the issue is tolerable. I just unplug it when I'm not going to use it.
I've had mine in twice in the last year.
A friend of mine has put in over $200 to get his fixed and it's still not right.
PanMan, thats what my unit was doing the last time too. Cost me I think $165 for them to send me a rebuilt one.
I have two of them on my boat and the one at the trolling motor is doing the same thing in the last two weeks. I will have it off for maybe 5 to 10 minutes and its back on.:confused:
Broken board they told me. Mine was blinking on and off with the beeper carring on like crazy.
I've got a 522c and so far I haven't had any trouble but I've heard some bad things about the lowrance stuff. Worries me.
I just had my 3 plus year old 332C replaced for the cost of shipping becuse of the same problem...it kept turning itself on!
Do as suggested...call Linda at the above phone number...she is alot better than the rest of the crew at Lowrance, someone else there had already told me it would cost $199 to replace it...then I called Linda after it being suggested by a buddy of mine.

The background light has a mind if its own on both for mine and the turn themselves on and off not to mention I had to turn sound off so I could stay in boat. The both chirp like crazy. I will be sending them in. One at a time.
Thanks guys

Called Linda today and a new 520 is on its way, no charge. Thats great customer service!!!!
Lowrance has had that problem for several years now. Just about EVERY unit they made had the switch go bad. I had a 332c and a 102c and have sent both of them in twice to get that problem fixed. They relaced one of them with a new one and it went bad with in two weeks. No more lowrance for me.

My iFinder Pro crapped out, now reading thes posts???? I seen somewhere someone said about a voltage problem (high up to 16 volts) I watched my amp meter today and mine briefly went to 16 volts, I'm going to isolate my unit by it's self but what is the remedy to stop that high charge from the engine? Help me out here please and THANK YOU, Ferdi aka Fred:(
I have a 334C iGPS. Over a year now and no problems so far. I had a X-90 unit that went bad and traded it in on a Humminbird Matrix 67 a couple of years ago. I read somewhere that current spikes from an outboard's alternator could damage the unit so I bought a small AGM motorcycle battery and have my unit isolated using that battery. It works great and I can run the unit for more than 24 hours without much voltage loss. If you go this route be sure to charge the battery at 2 amps or less to minimize the risk of overheating.
Last year I upgraded both of my units to color and went with the Lowrance 334c on the back and the x102 for the front. I had problems with my x102 coming on by itself and had to send it back to Lowrance. They shipped me another refurbished x102 to go on my boat and said that my unit was having a problem with the panel behind the power button. I then had a problem with my 334c...it would basically freeze up and would not display my sonar or Hotmaps GPS. I talked with the company and he said this was also a very common problem and could be fixed by turning off the unit, then press the POWER button and the PAGE button at the same time and hold them down until the unit comes on. This will reset the unit. This is not a complete fix and they told me that it could possibly do it again.

The new 520 arrived! I'm back in business
Talked to Linda today. Looks like Lowrance will stand behind the product and send me (2) new 520s:D . Thanks for the hookup. I will keep you posted. I have a tournament this weekend. She said she would overnight em if I pay the 25.00 shipping. Sounds like a deal to me.
Jigster
I have to tell you that Both Linda and Lowrance are great, It wasn't until today that I a managed to download my waypoints on a sims card and put them in the mail to Lowrance. Linda called me this morning tellling me she had my 520s ready to ship. I went to the Post office and sent em priority mail. Called her and gave her the tracking #. At the same time she took my credit card info for the 25.00 overnight fee. My 520s are now on their way to Crosby Texas. Should be here before lunch tomorrow.I am now more than pleased :D :D :D :D :D . LINDA AND LOWRANCE ROCK!!!!
PLEASE DON'T TELL ME THE 520s HAVE ISSUES
JIGSTER
Received my units today installed and downloaded waypoints, I am a happy camper. The 520s are nice will try em this weekend at "Craptoberfest".

My Eagle 320 and 480 has that same disease. I think somebody needs to get it across to them to leave off the Power button, and put a *&^%$# toggle switch in the accessory package so you can turn the unit Off and On when you desire:eek:Quote:
