WORKS... BUT... there is a problem with the plastic case...
STAINS BADLY on the plastic case.. no reasonable explanation for the stains based on the patterns... I ran it by GARMIN CUSTOMER SERVICE as a warranty claim and they blew me off...
My initial thought was it was bug spray, wipes or suntan lotions or creams.. so i tried "DOTTING" the back with 17 types of those things that I use or have around.. nada... no reaction..
still works fine..
AWESOME equipment... very hi tech.. yet intuitive operation.... great display even in bright sunlight... actual current draw is 200ma (.2Amp) so it will run off pretty much anything from 10 to 20volts (not written in specs anywhere you have to contact cust support to get info).. and they quote .8amp drain... no way I measured... registering the warranty is a chore.. it comes up tellin ya that the product comes w/o a transducer.. well not true.. and the transducer even has a model and serial of its own...cust support is clueless to help.. and yes. I did not get it registered properly yet.. or the other one that I bought for my son...
I am currently running it off a old laptop computer battery, recharging with a small solar panel ( I dont have any other power in my 12 foot fishing boat)/// Great value.. feature rich...
