    Lowrance Fishfinder/GPS combo..anyone use these?

    i had the lowrance 520c on my boat and was no more difficult to work than my humminbird 525 but the extra features are great...like setting a waypoint at the dock before you leave so you can find your way back at night, or marking channels or fish, they are well worth the money and they can be...

    Bilge Setup - Help
