IT PAYS TO KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN
Anyway, I use the $736 to purchase a new HDS-7 Touch Gen 2 for $649 and a new 50/200 tranducer for $89, I ended up paying $3.58 for both items. This weekend I see that the HDS-7 Gen 2 price dropped to $599 so yesterday I head over to West Marine to get a price match, I get back $54 Today I see that the price on the HDS-7 dropped again, this times it at $468. I call West Marine and they issue a credit to my bank account for $143. Basically, I got refunded just shy of $200 in two days.

What was the value of the time and gas you spent working on this and driving back and forth? What was the opportunity cost of not doing something more important?
Anyway, you probably forced them to lose money, so you win

So there's one honest WM employee who probably felt guilty about selling HDS-5's back in the day to Hispanic kayakers at double the price. But that wasn't really a large impact as there are only two in all of SoCal...EastLosYakker and you. Jim.

Sounds like a great shopping bargain. The real question Jorge is does the HDS-7 Touch Gen 2, handle rolling a Hobie PA 14 in the surf any better then the HDS-5 did.

The transducer still works and the issue with the nut came be fixed. Again, I thought they would probably just give me a new transducer so I was surprised when they told me they would refund me all of me money, on top of that they told me to keep the old unit.

I really hope that someone jumped on that $468 deal because it's gone now.

I am surprised to see any kind of warranty on anything electronic, most of the time if you plug something in all bets are off. This is great business sense by West Marine. Happy customers keep coming back, hopefully the manufacturer stands behind them but one way or another it's very smart on West Marines part. I haven't bought from them yet but they will be where I go when I buy my VHF radio.
