As you know all the parts are usually of Asian origin Tom, I like Taiwanese stuff about the best though. :twocentsQuote:

@ Wannabe:
"Made in Mexico" with Asian parts is no better I guess...
:biggrin
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
I don't wear rose colored glasses very often....
Same video.sorryQuote:
