We install a lot of Cuda 350's and they hold up well. This years units are 100% sealed, perfect for the kayak. 285.00 installed at OEX

That's the set up I go with. I abuse it and so far (knocking on wood) it's working just fine.

Just wondering if the Lowrance M68C is also 100% sealed? If it is, give that one a look Chris.

The alarm went off at 5 a.m., still dark, oh please just one more hour of sleep. It goes off again at 6 a.m., thick fog outside, no thanks. Call a friend on the beach around 10:30 a.m. : "there's still fog, but it's definetely clearing". I go ahead and launch around 11:00, not a soul in sight. The sun came out and the wind held off just long enough before the fog came back.

To make a long story short, you should have stayed out, Chris. Report to follow

.

Oh yeah, one more vote for the combo unit. Go West Marine or regret it.
