FISHFINDER INFO NEEDED

fredhatch · 01-31-05, 05:12 PM

Does anyone have the address or website to contact hummingbird? I have a on/off switch acting up and cant seem to fix it. Ive replaced it w/ a Garmin but would like to get this fixed and move it up to the trolling motor. Customer service number or address would be great. Thank You!

hose holder
grab it quite stiffly with your good hand and in a move that nolan ryan would be proud of. sling that mother as far out in the lake as possible. humming birds are the closest thing to junk it anit funny. my advice would be you like garmin ok buy a nother garmin-they are a good depth finder-trust me humming birds are almost never repairable.
plus it would cost more to fix it -if they do-then it would cost for a new garmin.

Yeah they don't cost an arm and a leg in the first place and you would be better off just getting rid of it. Have you looked in the packaging if you still have it? you probably don't so maybe look all over the unit itself and try and find an address or number or something.

Unless it's still in warranty, I'd give it a pitch into the dumpster too. If it's still under warranty, send it back to them. I don't think they actually "fix" them. They just send you a new one. That's what they used to do anyway.

Just checked the site. Thanks. Looks like you guys are right. My Garmin is much better and was only $40.00 more than what they want to repair it. Looks like Ill buy something. Any suggestions on a smaller fishfinder for the front. My new one is 8-10 inches wide. Would prefer one of the smaller sized ones so as not to take up room by the trolling motor. Maybe another Garmin or an Eagle. 8)

I've had good luck with Eagles over the years. The one you see in the picture on the front of my boat has been on three different boats. I think it's a strata 128 or something like that. It cost 100 bucks or so, and has worked for years.

eagle make a 168 or a 240 both excellant up front -i use eagle depth finders -what ever you buy make sure it has a large cone 20-25 degree cones are great up front.
