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.

Go with a Garmin 93sv instead of spending thousands of dollars, you spend 700 and in my opinion have just as good of a unit, with a bigger screen. I got mine off eBay for $699 brand new and love it. There are three features I don't have that lowrance hds does. 1) no engine readout features
2) no overlay on the maps, which is really nice to have
3) not touch screen
