I would leave it alone. you are already getting a replacement. nothing good can come if you open it. Lowrance may or may not care you opened it. I wouldnt take the chance.

I would agree with this to CYA. A little tip any time electronics have moisture inside turn off power and do the rice in a bag for a few days. Leaving the power on or hooked up creates current across areas not suppose to carry current. Current and water creates an abundance of corrosion very quickly switches ie etc.

Have you tried calling them and asking about when they shipped the unit out? They should be able to tell you if you give them your name or your old units serial number. That way you can have some peace of mind about it bud.

Buy a new brand of your choice, then sell the Lowrance when it finally arrives. Lowrance had that problem before, no units available to replace defective ones. On the bright side, you are getting a replacement for one out of warranty. Or are you having to pay an up charge for the replacement?
