I bought the Scanstrut bracket for my Lowrance HDS7 from Defender in June, and the white adjustment knob has a hairline crack in it. It has not been abused.
I contacted Defender customer service and they sent me the distributor contact along with a PDF of my receipt. One phone call to them on Thursday, and they promised to send a replacement which went out Friday, and I had it today. BTW I had only asked for a knob, but they replaced the entire bracket assembly with a new one in the retail box.
Can't beat that for "meeting or exceeding expectations". BTW Scanstut USA is managed by Ocean Marketing in CT.
You can see the bracket and white knob in the image below, mounted to the binnacle hand rail.
