Total BS if you ask me - its supposed to be a Lowrance promotion, not a West Marine one.

Anyway - I absolutely love mine - the color finder is fantastic, and working with the chart function is super cool. It tracks your course, and using the trip computer you can see how far you paddled that day.

If I'm not mistaken I believe that is why west marine has the $150 off (at least that's what the guy in there store told me) West marine takes the rebate price off so you don't have to wait for the rebate. But when you can get bass pro who is authorized by lowrance to qualify for the rebate to price match west marine plus get the rebate its like a double rebate.

Had I known I'd have done the same thing!
I'm not too bummed though after using the thing. After using my old dinky B&W humminbird for years, this unit is like moving up a big screen TV!

I would argue with Lowrance if I were you Baja. There is nothing in their rebate that says that the unit must be purchased from an authorized dealer. That is false advertising.

Yea, I called the rebate center and they gave me the number to Lowrance direct. I'll call after the new year and argue the point. Nowhere on the rebate form or the Lowrance website does it say that only certain stores qualify.

Baja, check out there "Where to buy" button at the top of the Lowrance web page. I am not sure which West Marine you bought your unit at, but the San Pedro West Marine is on their locations map.

Hey what type of mount is that for the head unit?

That picture is an exact mirror image of my rig - YakAttack rails with the Ram Mount - I even ended up with the split screen reversed from yours by the end of the first day out.
I put mine on the right side because I push buttons with my right hand better...
