I saw it at the NW Sportsman Show for $599.99 and I have seen it on a HSOforum for $599.99. I have never bought anything the HSOforum personally, but I have been told it is a great with shipping and availability. I ended up buying mine from Cabela's because of my points and gift certificates. I started hooking it up last night and a person almost needs to be a master electrician to hook it up.

I don't know if there is really any specific problems to expect. I just ran into the fact that the plugs are too big for the normal transducer holes on my boat, the network, power, and gps hookups are a little confusing. I am not sure whether to hook up just the normal power, or hook up the NMEA constant power also. I think if a person gives himself a couple of hours to do it you should be fine. It is just the first GPS/sonar combo that I have hooked up and it is a little different than the normal sonar only units.

I got my 332c for $619, no additional tax or shipping charges. I've got several friends that have ordered from the same guy (on-line) and he's great to work with and we've all been very happy with him. He's affiliated with another forum so the link would probably get killed here, but if you give me your email I'll pass along the info if you're interested.

The 332c is as easy to install as any other sonar or gps combo. Only thing out of the ordinary is you need to connect 2 sets of power leads to your battery - one for the unit, and 1 for the gps antenna. The 'knob' on the transducer cable was slightly too large to go through the holes in my splashwell, but I ground it down slightly with a dremel tool until it fit through the hole.

LundDuckBoat - Called down to Cabela's in Owatonna and had them ship it to me. I have a Cabela's visa card- so used some cash on it towards the purchase. Ended up getting it for like $590-599 before all the taxes and shipping.

PLUS I got money on the deal because that cost (doubled)went on my card in cabela's points cool.gif

I got mine all hooked up and took it out fishing. Instead of reading all the instructions over and over, I just hooked it up and everything works. The confusing part in the manual was the two power leads like PerchJerker mentioned. The thing is awesome. Guys in the back of my boat could read it just as well as I can sitting right in front of it. The Lakemaster Pro-MN chip is also awesome. It shows every little detail right on. I have about a 15 acre pond in my backyard and it is right on the map. Wow!

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.

      I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
