The last time I fished my lowrance hds 8 bit the dust. I have been having trouble with it and so it went in the trash. I have been wanting to try a Garmin sv 93 for a while so I ordered a new one. Should be here wed and I can get it installed. It is a reasonable priced unit and has down and side view built in. I got the chirp model that will support the new forward looking pan optic transducer. All I got to do is save up $1500. For the transducer. Don
