I found a Brand New Locator floating on Lake Waubesa Sunday after a huge storm, I plugged it in it works perfect.
So if its yours email me at [email protected] to ID it then I can get it to you
Thanks,

Hey Jeff,

If the locator has GPS, plug it back in and find out where it was last when it had power.

Not sure what good that would do Gerard. I pull my units when I travel, I'm 60 miles away so imo it's kinda pointless, we know it was lost on the lake...your better off calling Lowrance with the serial number, maybe the owner had sent it in for service and they could give you their info.

Could check with the manufacturer and see if the warranty was registered
and maybe they could help locate the owner.

Er...what brand is that? Gotta get me one of those that floats in the lake and works perfectly afterwards. Class act trying to find the owner...hope you succeed.

I had called Humminbird- they just called back the unit is registered and they are contacting the owner to let them know I have it to come pick it up. So make sure you register your units so they can be traced back to you, if lost or stolen.
