New marine electronics hold their price for a reason — but buying used marine electronics from a specialist retailer can cut hundreds off a purchase without cutting corners on reliability, if it’s done properly. Here’s exactly what “used” means when you buy from us.
What our inspection actually covers
- Full power-on test — display, touchscreen and physical controls
- Sonar and GPS function verified against a known-good signal
- Networking ports and cabling checked
- Cosmetic condition graded honestly in the listing
What’s covered by warranty
Every used unit we sell carries our 90-day used-goods warranty, separate from the manufacturer’s original warranty (which typically doesn’t transfer to a second owner). If a unit develops a genuine fault within that window, we sort it — full details on our warranty page.
When used makes sense — and when it doesn’t
Used is a great fit for a second station, a budget-conscious first chartplotter, or high-value items like 12-inch and 16-inch displays where the new-vs-used price gap is largest — see our used Garmin ECHOMAP Ultra 2 126sv and Lowrance HDS PRO 16 head unit. If you need the absolute latest sonar generation (like LiveScope 2) or want the longest possible warranty runway, new is the better call.
