whichwaysup Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Hey all - I've had a Lowrance Elite 5 HDI unit for about a year which was acting up on me. I contacted Lowrance, and they just replaced it with a brand new Elite 5 CHIRP unit. In the meantime, I decided to upgrade to a sidescan HDS unit, so I no longer need the Elite 5. A couple things to know: 1) The head unit (the actual electronic/screen unit) is brand new, just received this week from Lowrance. I haven't even taken it out of the packaging (but can if you want me to test it first). 2) The mount is not brand new, it is what I had the former Elite 5 HDI mounted on, but it is in perfect condition. (Boat is garage kept). 3) The 83/200 transducer is not new - again, it is the same transducer I used for my other Elite 5 Unit, but again it is in great condition and has not been modified in anyway. 4) The power cable is brand new, and includes all the hardware, fuse, etc. 5) The tranducer mount is brand new, since I was able to use my old one for the new HDS transducer, so all of the mounting hardware and bracket are in the original packaging (same stuff used for HDS and Elite xducers). This is a great fish finder, and if was capable of side scan I would have kept it. I have not used the CHIRP version, which is an upgrade over the HDI unit I had. This should be a pretty good deal for someone, but be warned, I'm pretty firm on pricing. Just not worth letting go for less than I'm asking. Here is more information about the unit: http://www.lowrance.com/en-US/Produc...IRP-en-us.aspx I have a trader rating on a different forum that you can find here - my screen name was "Whichwaysup" on this forum. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/itrader.php?u=411421 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishtails Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Since you stated that the pricing is firm and there's no price listed does that mean it's free to the first comer? Haha Really have to make sure eyes are dotted and T's are crossed around here, just kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichwaysup Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Oops, copied this from the ncangler forum and forgot to include the price. Man, after all the times I have laughed at other folks not putting in the price, I guess I deserve some abuse. Price was 200 plus shipping. It sold in precisely 15 minutes.
