I currently have the HDS5 and have had HB units, while the HB units are nice their quick connect head unit, in our environment, in a yak, do not handle the saltwater very well. I went through 4 HB units in one boat from 718 on up to 385c all had the same problems with the connection at the head unit. I am not
putting HB down at all good product and support, but the Lowrance and Garmin
have a more durable cable connection that so far has not been a problem for me and I am in the water at least 4 times a month...hope that helps, late....b
