    Did Lowrance discontinue the HDS Gen 3 units?

    Going to the Navico site they have removed all HDS Gen 3 units. They still have Gen 3 Carbon units listed for sale. Does anyone know if they discontinued the regular HDS units in favor of Carbon units?

    They always have a phase out period for older units. Carbon will replace Gen three, then two or three months later the new Lowrance units will be released, and the Carbon units are outdated, been that way for years.

    Of course. Natural progression. HDS Pro is the current unit. There are still Lives available from different retailers. But Pro is the new model. Same as any product.

    HDS Live has been the longest running HDS ever in Production 6 yrs. Its time for it to end The only reason its so popular was all the price reductions it has gown through. I am sure there is stock in many dealers you will just have to search, Amazon most likely has then yet. Bass Pro and Cabelas somewhere in US has stock yet.
