I've had a pretty good experience with refurbished electronics, including a recently purchased Lowrance sonar unit from Cabela's. They way I look at it, a new unit may or may not have issues, but they should have gotten a refurbished unit to run right. So far, it's worked out well for me. But if you get one, make sure you keep your receipt. If you run into problems with the unit, even a year or two after purchase, it is still worth a fair amount on an exchange unit in a Cabela's store.
