LOWRANCE   X 125 fish locator
QUALITY ?
UP DATE 09-21-09

I recieved a response from LOWRANCE and it appered that they never read the
whole complaint that all the pictures below happened in a short time span as I was
drifting over 20-30 ft. of water and the only electronics running was the X-125.
They said interferance and e wiring probs and other things happening. I have to
send it in to find out and if it needs replacing it will coist me $150.00 plus
shipping. No way will I pay the Price of this unit that I paid for and a year later pay
another $150.00 to cover lack of quality. It has bad days and good days and gives
me what I need 60% of the time. I sent them a response and they have yetto respond
after 2 weeks except to say they recieved my Email;

If I replace it I'll try another Mfg. maybe a Garmin.

I purchased this LOWRANCE fish locator unit a little over a year ago and I
do not see the quality and reliability that my old Lowrance had which
I purchsed in the 90's. This unit below started acting up this spring
just before the warranty ran out. I should have sent it in then but fishing
was good and I reset the unit according to their help section online.
It worked for awhile until the warranty was up then it went kaput again.
Now you can not even resetthe unit again. I am contacting Lowrance
about it but I wanted to put thispage up first so that they can see the
problems I am having with this. Imight note I tried calling LOWRANCE
on the phone but their was a 30 min. wait.
Doesn't this tell you something?

Here is a copy of Email sent to Lowrance.
Hi I have a Lowrance X-125 that I am not happy with the performance.
I have had Lowrance products for over 50 years with the first being the Green Box.
They all have served me well thru the years until they wore out except
my X-70 which got moisture in it. This X-125 fish locator which I have has never
been as good a unit as any of my previous units. It has been temperamental
from the beginning which I should have sent it in.
It is now out of warranty. I Tried resetting it as  it says in the help section.
This only got me past the warranty date and then problems started
all over again. I have pictures on what it does and these are displayed
on my website www.2lbgil.com Here is the link for the pictures

 If I send this in what would the costs be to repair or is it cheaper to replace with another unit?

Thanks...Don Anderson

This is what it should look like all the time if it is working
properly. Below is waht it did in about a time span of 15 min.

This is waht it does 2 min. after I turn it on and I am over 28 ft. of water.

It likes to do this also.

Isn't this nice.

Here it dropped the the fish ID completely for about 30 seconds.
