Re: Need reviews on Lowrance x510c sonar..
I have the 510c. It locks up and freezes in auto mode, in shallow water 4ft or less. Sent the graph in to Lowrance with the transducer for repair. Got a new tranducer and same head unit back tested. Still the same problem. Called Lowrance today talked to a tech he had me take it out of auto mode and set it to two different scales both for shallow water and deep water. have yet to try it out, using the scroll in and out buttons to switch from deep to shallow. I don`t think I`m going to like it. But if the graph works good maybe. I told the tech that people are jumping to Humminbird Lowrance needs to fix their soft ware. I had a Lowrance X75 and upgraded to the 510c. I like the X75 better. Take a second look at Humminbird wish I had. The Humminbird 777c is the equivalent to the Lowrance 510c.
So far I`m disappointed with the X510c. Lowrance had a better product a few years back. Humminbirds product was not so good a few years back, now people who have humminbirds like them. I already had the holes in my boat to suit Lowrance products and on past experience Lowrance was great. Not so sure now. $500.00 is tough to eat and I might have just done that.
Wish my graph looked as good as it does in the simulator mode, not even close!
