Lowrance 5 year upgrade program, if you have an older faulty non warranty unit around and it's no older than 5 years since manufacture/purchase. You can get half off a brand new up to date unit by calling Navico. I just did with an old non working Elite 5 unit. They even allowed me to choose the Elite-7 TI w/ HDI transducer. $325, 6 month warranty, purchased another 3 years for $96. No receipt necessary, have to send in the old head unit. They have you pay and choose a new model on your initial call/claim. SweeT DEAL, thanks Navico.

If you have an old HDS 5 Gen 2 , here is the deal :

Head unit only , no bracket, no ducer, no cable, no box.....6 month warranty.
You must pay extra for other accessories or warranty.

option one : HDS 5 gen 2 , $300 , ( out of stock)
option two : HDS 7 gen 2 , $375,
option three : HDS 7 touch $449

Different unit get different option, not your choice.

You have to ship old head unit back.
Do you think it is a good deal ?

Yes because your cables and other things should still work.

That is correct. If like my unit the chords and transducer are no longer used and there is no units available that use it, then you get new chords and transducer as close to the same specs. Same with mount, braket, etc. Take the HDS 7 Gen2 Touch, sweet deal, actually very similar to the Elite-7 TI. Also remember if they have rebuilt units that is what you are getting. With something so new and hot like the Elite-7 TI, it's probably new, not rebuilt.

By the way, they clipped me pretty good on taxes and shipping. Didn't expect that. Shipping was normal, like $12.50 but I didn't expect them to collect sales tax. Still I got the unit for slightly over $300 less than the going MSRP + insurance, no taxes, but half a year less in total warranty.

Think of it this way. You got a unit that doesn't work at all, worthless. Worse comes to worse just sell the replacement and pocket the extra coin or apply to something different.
