    Garmin 73SV in upcoming Cabelas Sale?

    Obviously the older version since its $550 off so I'm assuming it will come with the GT40 transducer. Any downside to this one other than no chirp? It seems like everyone is after the GT52 transducer so how is the GT40?

    I bought one and really don't like it but I'm comparing it to the 2 Helixs I already have.

    It will come with the CV40 transducer. I bought one the last time it went on sale. They are probably just doing these in "bunches" as they replace the transducers and return them to the retailers.

    That's what I was kinda wondering. It seems like these things appear in batches. I might just pass on it.

    Well now I'm confused, I just looked closer at the ad and it says "down Vu"

    Exactly. But when I bought mine in Feb, it was a "Clear vu". I thought they couldn't package or sell "Down Vu" units anymore?

    I got one a few months ago and it was first side imaging unit so cant compare but to me it was great the first time out.

    So some are saying they have bought these recently at Cabelas and they have the GT40 transducer bundled with them. If that's the case I'm thinking I should go and exchange my CV40 for that. I sure would like to know if one is better than the other.

    It says "DonVu" They must be coming out with a Hybrid... Seriously, Dtro did you call Cabelas and talk to anyone in the electronics dept and ask which transducer with the new ad? I'd drive down tomorrow and exchange it.

    Yes, I actually called 3 in my area and none of them had any in stock, so they must be expecting a new shipment (based on the featured item on the flyer cover). I will try back again later this week.

    The pictured unit is Garmin's part number 010-01387-00 which does not have CHIRP and is discontinued. Reading the Q&A section on Cabela's site gives a few more answers: http://www.cabelas.com/product/null/2412938.uts

    Link here: https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/169422

    Reading the “in the box” portion it says: GT40-TM transducer (12-pin) or CV40-TM transducer

    Looks like it will be your luck of the draw.

    If you don’t mind spending a bit more for the Chirp version with a GT52HW-TM, the best price I have found is here, and no sales tax from the GPS Store.

    I called the Owatonna store today-none in stock and none on order....salesperson said sale starts 4-6... weird none on order. Called Woodbury, salesperson opened the box and checked it for me, had the CV transducer.

    I used my Cabelas points and want to buy from them (I'll try to get a price match on a retail store that has a better price, if possible). I looked on there website and can't find what I need, can someone help me out with a part number for the Chirp unit with the GT52ww transducer? Thanks

    I bought it on the thanksgiving day sale. Absolutely love it been out 7 times and have already learn so much about a lake that I have fished for 17 years. Quick draw plus custom depth color shading. For $450. I might buy a second to put up front.

    I'm guessing you have the GT40 transducer?

    I was at Cabelas last night, they had the display for sale but came with the 40CV ducer. I ended up buying the 93SV as it has the 52XT ducer. Still on sale for $839.00..
