As you know all the parts are usually of Asian origin Tom, I like Taiwanese stuff about the best though.
As with all the Core, Onix and Helix units - they say "Assembled In USA" on them.

assembled in USA isn't the same as made in the USA

Does HB still do automatic insertion in Bama?

Yes Sir. They do -Doug V. was in there when they started production on the Helix 5's.
@ Wannabe:
"Made in Mexico" with Asian parts is no better I guess...

Humminbird is as close to made in the USA as you can get with anything electronic ..... The chips for EVERYTHING are mostly made in Taiwan.

Take a trip to Alabama and tour the factory.

Auto insertion is fascinating to the point it is addictive to watch. Good to hear Humminbird is still "towing the line". I started out in electronics as a "tube thumper". The stuff has come a long way.

Here's a video that I found.https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...bcVDBF8TiA5A2A

Much agreed Bob. I bet you've watched these before Tom.

Just how made in America do you need to have it to meet your own standards?
If using "globally sourced parts" for a finished product, isn't made in America - then I suggest you research how much of my 2006 Toyota Tacoma is Japanese manufactured.
Then go investigate parts and assembly of GM and Ford products.
