  | I see Cabelas has "reconditioned" locators on their web site.  Anyone have any experience in purchasing one of them?  
  
Input appreciated. |

  Location: On my favorite lake! | Haven't done it on a locator but my friend did it on a minn kota and now problems. Some of those locators are missing a transducer. I would think they would have the same warranty but for $100 bucks less it is not really worth it. Might be worth it on a more expensive unit,  $500 savings.  I would call cabelas and ask them the details of warranty. |

  | If you are talking about the HDS 7 that cabelas had in their ad for $999.  My local Gandermountain has the HDS 7 on sale for $1049 NIB.  So definately look around.  I wouldn't buy one but that is just me. |

I was looking at the reconditioned units at Cabelas as well, but there are other online sites that have new units at nearly the same price.  Cascadegps.com has the HDS 5 base with 83/200 transducer for around $575, with $9 shipping.  I think the extra $25 is worth it for the 2nd year of warranty.  
  
Good luck,
