Thanks in advane.
The elite 4 unit is so solid, I'm surprised you say it died. If i were you, I would be sure to completely rewire your power-supply before you install a new unit. That especially includes the battery box if you use one. The majority of issues are caused by faulty PS, or a bad pin on your lowrance PS cable. You'll get a new "red plug" with your new device, but be sure to test your batteries and wiring. I rewire yak and replace SLA batteries every season. Also keep in mind you will be tripling your amps pretty much. Need at least 12v 12ah for a 7ti to work all day.

A lot of times westmarine will just replace shit, when actually the product being replaced was not the issue to begin with. Customer service is so good, maybe too good haha.
