    Default Disappointed


    Transducer went out on a year and half old Humminbird 998...also needs a cover. Started calling at 0830,, got connected at 1100, spent an hour and 15 minutes ON HOLD...then got to pay $327....Not my idea of good customer service..She said they were extremely busy this time of the year...My next unit probably won't be a Humminbird

    Did you register it on-line after purchase? My understanding is you get 1 year warranty at purchase and if you go on-line and register it you get a extra year warranty which would make it 2 year.

    A year and a half ago the 998 was a clearance model as the 999's were out. Probably affected the warranty length.

    I've always had great customer service from Humminbird.

    They are probably swamped because ICast just ended last week. Trying to fill all their orders on the Helix stuff.
    We only sell the Best. Ranger, Xpress, Yamaha, Suzuki, Tohatsu.

    $1600 from BBG didn't sound like clearance price to me.....I am not upset about the price..evidently I screwed up by not seeing the extra warranty deal....I am upset that it took so long to get online...then an hour and 15 minutes on hold...there is no excuse for that..My 45 years in sales says that was inexcusable
