I've had 2 garmin combo units. The 178C and the new 545S. I have not had one negative issue with the units or Garmin the few times I talked with them. I've been able to run WOT on both units without any static on the sounder screen. I found the 178C to be very clear even in bright sunlight on my 170CC.The new 545S is an awesome machine. I'm sorry you had a bad experience but I don't see how you could "expect" Garmin to pick up the tab on the fix if the warranty was out. I'll admit it would have been nice of them to pick up the tab; but If the warranty was out of date expecting them to give a freebie is like (asking a dealer to give you a loaner transducer for free).
Just my 2 cents. Good luck on the repair. I hope it holds up for a long time.
