finatic Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 My Hummingbird 947c fishfinder recently quit working and Im looking to replace it with a lowrance hds 5, or 8. I never cared for the hummingbird but had a lowrance previously that I loved. Can anyone with this unit tell me what they think of it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooked Up Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I've got the HDs 5...no complaints. Tracks at planing/high speeds and more functions to dial in than I usually care to mess with! Easily seen in the sunlight too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headshkr Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 We have the HDS7 and absolutely love it! The 8 would be better with preset soft keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
