Lowrance ifinder H20

[m1taylor]

Hi, I have got one of these largish handheld GPS. I have looked around the web to see if there is a marine mount for this model. Lowrance definitely do one, as you can find it on US sites. But I can find nothing in the UK. Has anyone found one here - and if so, I would be grateful to have the name of company, or website. Thanks

Just do a Google UK search for lowrance mb-11 - you'll find several suppliers.

I've just bought one from Ram with a suction mount and I think its excellent.

Hello All , I have also just ordered an H20c , seduced by the comments made in an earlier post and by the offers around at the moment with mapping included , however I need a power and data lead so I can send the position info to my DSC radio and have 12v power at the same time. Finding it hard to find. I can locate one from the Lowrance site , but it's about $45. Have tried Ebay but no joy.
Has anybody found a UK source for this lead ?

If you can find a UK source you will find that the cost will be £45.00 at least.
The UK Lowrance distributors Silva are very good at inflating the price of accessories that can not be obtained else ware.
The US shops are not allowed to ship to the UK.
The best method would be to find some one in the US who could receive it for you and send it on.

I had this problem with Silva last year.
I needed to get a replacement lead for a Lowrance GlobalMap 3300c Mapping GP receiver.

The lead to the antenna has a dead short in it.
A 25ft long 5 core lead with molded plugs on each and Y adapter with terminating resistor

I had a look at the Lowrance website and found the lead at a price of $57.95 plus delivery. (£32.63).
No option to get the lead delivered out side the USA.

I called a marine electronics supplier that I have used before and that quoted me £109!!!!.
I said that they must be joking but they were not and suggested that I call the UK distributors Silva.
That said that the cost was £99.00
I asked to speak to a manager to obtain their justification for this excessive price increase but that where all in a meeting and some one would call later.
No call received.
I have called back and the message was that is the price dictated by Lowrance.

I sort of expected a $ to £ equivalent but 1 300% mark-up is unbelievable

Silva did called back to say there is a pricing error and it should be £69.95.
I still find that unacceptable and asked them to talk to Lowrance and get their response on this.
I never did get a responce to that.
I managed to find the fault in the cable and repair it.
