H2Oc question

[nitroant]

Wow, the site is slow today, or is it just me. I bought the H20 C with Lakmaster Chip @ Marine General for $280 out the door. I think Reeds would have made me the same deal. You have to work them a little since they are all competing against each other. Have fun.

I bought the RAM mount for my car off of hsolist for $15. It is pretty sweet with a big suction cup and very sturdy arm that it swings on. the arm disconnects and also can clip into a vent. I have only used it mounted to my windshield but love it. Don't know if you are looking for that style or not. Good luck.

It's not you, it's the site. Thanks for the info about the H2O C. Can't wait, got 7 more hours until we go.

Check the prices on the LakeMaster chip. I saw it for $50 at one of the venders. Great price.

Have you guys been able to turn off ALL alarms?...little loud in the woods

[gorrilla]

I got my RAM mount at Reed's last week.

[WalleyeWeasel]

L&M in Grand Rapids had the units last week for $219-

Chip $69.99

The best price that I found at the show was at Capra's for $219 for the H2O C and the Lakemaster Chip. I just about died when he told me it was for both.

Is the color H20 the way to go? or are they hard on the portable batteries. Also what lakemaster chip is the right one to get for MN? Thanks in advance!

Is it the way to go? I think so! I've had my H20c for all of winter now and it is really nice.

-However, it is VERY!! hard to see in direct sunlight.

-It is VERY!! hard on batteries.

I solved my battery problem by carrying around a depth finder battery on my snowmobile with a cigarette lighter adapter wired to it. I then just plug my H20 into the cigarette lighter plug and I can go for days with the backlight on. Otherwise, the H20 is always plugged in my truck as well.

The Lakemaster MN chip is all you need. Pop it in and go. Its sweet!

I picked up the MN Lake Master chip at the sports show yesterday for $49.99 at Reeds. Cheapest yet!

The guys at Lakemaster said the new chip will not be coming out until August. It will be adding 13 new in depth lakes to the new chip.

In advance or easy mode under Sounds you should be able to turn off key sounds and alarms sounds you can also set the volume level default is on high volume.

page 84 in the H2O manual.

I never even stopped at Capra's. I have never had any luck at their store with them being the low price, guess this was my chance to finally see them as the best price. Oh well, still got a pretty good deal. I also went to Gander to find a case for it, and what do you know, they were out!!! They have some one size fits all cases made by some case company, but the small one was too small and the next size was way too big. I bought a case for a Garmin that works perfect. Even extra room at the bottom for extra batteries. Pretty good for $9.99. I bought the lithium batteries for it too. How many hours are you guys getting out of the batteries?

Was at the show Sunday afternoon. Stopped by Capras and asked what they could do on the H2Oc. Was told $219.00. I asked if that included the Lakemaster chip. Was laughed at and told no way. Reeds had the H2Oc marked at $219.00 and offered me the Navionics Premium North chip for $119.00 which seemed quite fair. Since I needed this chip for my Humminbird 787C2, the deal was done.

[KSW]

Sorry to hear that. I knew when he gave me the price for both that I couldn't pass it up. I guess I do get lucky once in a while. He told me they where tired of the other stores jacking around with the prices, so they gave the lake chip for free. $219 is still a heck of a deal for the H2O.

[KSW]

I have a question, does anyone get a lock with WAAS signals? I only can get it in 3D signal with an epe between 35' - 55'.

[Little Joe]

I get mine locked on WAAS. If you're running it in your house or car, I've noticed I can't get it and get readings consistent with what your reporting. Hopefully, that's your issue?

[jonnyICE-MAN]

Was at the sports show on that thursday and got a heck of a deal on the expedition c $299 with the chip I can't believe they laughed at you thats nuts. They also had all the other ones h2o, h2oc, hunt etc. all with free chip. Sorry about your luck.

BTW LOVE MY EXPEDITION C IT'S AWSOME

[KSW]

Thanks, that's all I have been doing with it so far. Just to see what it can do and get familiar with it.

[Bull Sprig]

What sports show was this one? Was it the NorthWest sports show?

[hugonian1]

That's correct.
