Lowrance won't power up

[Bushwacker]

I was fishing this Sunday in some pretty big waves and as I was on plane going across the lake my 3 month old LMS 332 turned off. I have checked all connections and opened my boat up and made sure I still have power everywhere that it is needed. The power cords have 12.4volts coming to them. Has anybody ever had this problem. I have about 100 waypoints saved on the hard drive and don't really want to send it in for a repair because I am afraid they will have it for a month or more. Any suggestions besides sending it in?

I cant tell you what your problem is,but I had trouble with mine,sent it to Lowrance and it was back to me in 16 days,so not a bad turn around.

WHat about your fuses? Did you check that?

[Bushwacker]

The fuses are good. On a voltage meter I still have the correct power at the connection.

Doesn't sound good, I would send it in and hope you get it back in time for the mystery event.

Those waves knocked my graph off the Johnny Ray mount about 10 times that day!! I'm going to a RAM mount on the next unit, and I wish they made one with suspension.

Chuck,

If its not back by the mystery event, can we get a small handicap, like 10 lbs or so If Lowrance does warranty work as fast as they return phone calls and emails, I will have it back just in time for the mystery event 2006

Check with the store you bought the unit from. If is only 3 months old, they may exchange it for a new one and send yours back to Lowrance for full credit. It's worth a shot.

I bought it at Cabela's and thought about just bringing it back there, but I have a ton of waypoints and tracks that I have not backed up on disk.
