Looking for info, I replaced my softop with welded aluminum hardtop and now my Lowrance HDS 7 takes quite some time to lock on and or refined itself. Annoying when one wants to find drift speed and reef position quickly. Sometimes takes 3 mins now, this never happened with sunbrella softop. Unit is on dash as far inside (away from windshield) as possible, side windows are not in so walls are still solid aluminum for now. I will install slider and side window when I decide what to put in. So question for experienced aluminum guys? Would you wait for window install and see, live with it this summer? Do I move unit far foreword on dash and drill new holes or buy and mount external antenna? Opinions, ideas?
Thanks
