Transducer Extended Warranties - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Temp sensors go bad often. They leak water in and it messed em up. Lowrance didnt even care that I had a warranty, they said they have their own warranty. New ducer sent to my door in 3 days. Kept the old one. Guy told me their warranty is 2 years.

Definitely get the warranty for the head unit though.

Extended Warranties.....here's my take on them.

7 months after my Lowrance two year factory warranty expired I started having issues with my HDS-5. Had I not purchased the extended warranty I would be purchasing a new unit this weekend. So, ask yourself this question.

Can you afford to purchase a new unit every two years? If so, screw the extended warranty.

P.S.
the West Marine extended warranty on a new Lowrance 50/200 transducer is only $14.
