Thread: Humminbird Repair

What you got and how much you want for it? What's wrong with it?

Maybe you should ask Humminbird if there is any kind of "lemon law". A unit that has been back and forth that many times should be put down by the mfg and you should get a new unit that works

Humminbird does not buy back units, believe me I have asked. The one I have now is a new unit because they couldn't fix the other new one I had. Crappielimits I have to much respect for my fellow man than to try and pawn off something like this knowing its bad. I'm just really tired of hearing, "It will need to be sent back".

The best repair I know is Lowrance touch.

Too bad you are so far away
I've had several of them apart over the years

No problem! I think you may want to try it on someone else's set up where the same unit is working. I have seen where it was in the boats wiring. Are you using the transducer that came with it? I have dealt with Humminbird for years and they always took care of fisherman. I wish you were close enough to bring them the boat and unit.

I agree with crappielimits. Gotta be something in the way it's installed, in the settings, the wiring or half a dozen other things. If HB checked it out in their lab and sent it back . . . . odds are it's working.

What issues are you having? Can you post pics of the problem? Pics of where the transducer is installed? Which unit is it?

I have three other stations on the boat and other units that works fine at the station where the faulty unit lives. As I have told the factory folks its not always the customers fault. The last unit was sent back and finally Bill Carson was included in the mix and one of his staff sent another unit. The unit was having complete screen collapse and the top notch team at hummingbird could not seem to find it. The new unit has a totally different problem. I just wanted to know if there was someone out there besides hummingbird that works on these things. Thanks for the help.
