I have one, what information were you looking to get?
It's a very nice color fishfinder. If you don't need the gps
there are some good deals out there for this model. I got
mine on the used market for $200. Good as new.

I have a 520c and it keeps locking up and looses the bottom in deep water 50'+. Doesn't matter if I'm moving or sitting still. Worked great all summer, last trip it started acting up. I moved another unit(334c) to the 520's transducer and it worked fine. I down loaded the new software verson and did a reset. There are a lot of posts on WC about the 520c, keep searching, some 520's are having problems. WC is a storehouse of information, great place to learn. Good luck!

Me too! My 510c was junk! I tried several software updates and a transducer change out through Lowrances customer service. Never got a lasting fix.
There new graphs don`t work like their old ones do.
My 510 locked up in shallow water when pearch fishing shallow bays
I had a 1998 x75 that gave me 8 years of flawless operation, I foolishly upgraded to the x510c to find out many of Lowrance color models were ridden with bugs.
I`m happy now, I now have this; http://www.vexilar.com/pages/products/products_lc-507.html
Better than any other graph I have used.
