I don't like to do reviews of products that have been in use for a short time because on important future of a product such as this is its longevity. That being said, I have had this product installed for about 3 weeks now and it is working OK, no problems. When I bought my bass boat 6 years ago it came with a Lowrance X-51 fishfinder installed in the instrument panel. I live in Florida and use the boat about 30 times a year. Four weeks ago I pushed the X-51 power button and the screen was blank and I couldn't turn the unit off. I called Lowrance,explained the symptoms and informed them I tried the reset procedure with no success. So they told me the X-51 was done with. In buying a new fishfinder I wanted to accomplish two things; to use the same cutout hole in the dash and to use the already installed transducer. So, I asked Lowrance if there was a current model that would fit those requirements. To my astonishment the customer service rep said no. So I looked around the internet and chat rooms and found a contributor that had a similar problem and had been successful in replacing his broken X-51 with an X-52. So, I bought the X-52 and it met my requirements. I don't understand why Lowrance's CS rep did not know this but I guess this reinforces their poor CS reputation. In searching the internet for the best price I found Amazon to be the lowest at $179, with free shipping. Delivery was fast. I have found Amazon to be reliable and often have the best prices on many items so always check them when shopping on the internet.

Excellent merchandise and quick delivery. Best of all,I was able to use the same wiring I had for my Lowrance X-51. I took the old one off and plugged the new one in.
