    Livescope cable strain relief question

    When did the LVS32 get a different cable strain relief?

    Glad to see they are improving it. I've seen a bunch of post about peoples cable sleeve breaking in that area. I don't know when they changed it though.

    Can I ask when did you get yours?
    I am buying the system in a week and want to know if what I get will have the that type of strain relief on it.
    If I buy it directly from Garmin Canada will I get that one?
    If I buy it locally from Cabelas or Sail not sure what version I will get, there is not in-store shopping until later in the month maybe.

    I bought mine from Russell Marine in March and it is like the picture.

    Friend of mine just bought a livescope from radioworld and it had the old solid strain relief.
    I just received replacement transducer direct from Garmin and it has the updated strain relief.

    I bought mine about 3 weeks ago from RMP and it’s the same as the pic so you should get the new style as long as your not getting it from someone with old stock laying around
