| If I have a graph that has been discontinued, will Lowrance still repair it if necessary? |

| Depends how old. The most recent ones yes, some of the super old ones no.
Can't answer your question without a model # |

Location: Kodiak, AK | What Jason said. It's tough to say what they'll do. I've heard stories of people calling in with a 25 and Lowrance sending them a 27 as a replacement or sending a 27 and they get an HDS 7 as a replacement. I called in when my 25 crapped itself and they said it'd be $311 to fix. Guess I got the wrong guy on the phone. I'm not complaining. That 25C came with the boat when I bought it from Sled, so it lived a full life, but I had guys telling me stories of upgrades and trade-ins and it didn't happen to me.

| To add onto this, if I'm going to purchase a fish finder that is OLDER than the Lakemaster chip, will it still work? |

Location: mn | My guess is no on the fix. I had a 25 go bad a few years ago. When i called lowrance i was told they could not fix it but they offered me a coupon for a new one. A week later i got a coupon in the mail for $250.00 off an x27/28 or $500.00 off the bigger units. So if they cant fix it they might help you out a little bit towards a new one. |

Location: Kronenwetter, WI | I spoke with lowrance some time back and asked the same question. The guy indicated 6-7 years is average time span for servicing units once they go out of production. |

I should've talked to the guy you did. I was told to pack sand and send them $311. |
