Thanks Joe. Spread the word. Distributor has a good stock of these currently, but as the season approaches they will start to go quick. I've seen it happen too often. Matt

Reckless,
The 540 was discontinued by Garmin and is no longer in stock in either of my distributors and its replacement is the 541. It is $614.00 plus tax with a $100 mail-in rebate to Garmin. There are a dozen or so units in stock as of this reply.  I would think the 540s I have on here for 479.00 might be an option for less money and just don't use the ducer. Here to help ya and save ya some coin anyway I can. Let me know.
 
PS: I only am available to check e-mails early am and late pm due to madness at the marina. Call if ya need to.
Thanks.
Matt.
