I remain hopeful this is something you can have corrected with the warranty. I have been planning on the Gen3 HDS7 for the console and have just wanted to watch and see for a while on the longevity aspect of the product before I drop a few thousand. I do find this disturbing, I always worry about Planned Obsolescence with brands once they have defined it as an element of their marking program. Using this technique on the premium line is a surefire way to destroy the brand name.
What is so funny is I have a Eagle fish finder from 1990 that has survived being duct taped to the bow of two flat bottoms and still functions flawlessly. Again, we remain hopeful the product warranty will rectify the issues your having.
