I just bought this unit last week and got it installed this weekend. I took it out yesterday to do some fishing and it's amazing! I absolutely LOVE it, and couldn't stop playing with it. Worked extremely well, and I'm a happy customer. There's only one problem with it, on the LCD screen there is a black line that runs vertically on the back side of the glass. It's about 1/8" wide and it cuts off part of the screen. When ever there is a decimal in the depth (I.E. 15.5') anything after "15" is cut off behind that black bar. The screen IS functioning behind that black bar and if I look at it from an extreme left angle I can see the screen underneath the bar. It's almost as if this "bar" is printed on the back of the glass and is supposed to be under the plastic housing but it's not on mine.
Has anyone seen this before? I would take a picture but I don't have my boat at my house and with out the screen on it's hard to see.
I would love to avoid sending the unit in as there is only two more weeks of open season at my local lake and I'm going to try and get out as much as possible. I guess I could send it in after that, but I called Humminbird tech support this morning and they told me to send it in but the guy on the phone also didn't seem to understand what I was the problem was either.
Also on a side note it doesn't seem quite right to have to pay for shipping the until back to them when it's a $1k unit that's four days old.....
Thanks for the help ahead of time!
Edit: I was able to get a picture of the unit while off that shows this black bar. Notice the lack of it on the left hand side.
