That 's what I was trying to find out . Thank you . :dono that was the question , Is the warranty transferable ? Thought it might be since they buy and sell on the board daily . with no coverage 1/2 price is kind of steep ? lol
Same reason slightly WORN DRAWERS don't sell well at second hand shop??????
All you need is original sales receipt.Quote:

I read this on another web site. But makes a lots of sense. Now I think this applies to Humminbird. I don't know about the other manufactories units.
"Warranty does not "transfer". It is for the original owner with original receipt.
New unit= warranty, used unit= no warranty.
"Anyone can update any unit, just need the software.
Registering has nothing to do with warranty, it's an account to get access to software for the unit."
To get software, you do not have to own the unit, just need to register it. Anyone that has any unit can register it to get the software.
Anyone can register any unit anytime."
Now a way around this is if the person you were buying from would send it back to Humminbird for in warranty repair no one would be the wiser.:twocents
Scrat is spot on
Uhhhh. Call Hummingbird. .
If the unit was registered your warranty will be good until it ends. They don’t transfer warranties. You just use the serial number of the unit. They will make it good if it’s still in the warranty period. Just say you’re the original buyer with a change of address. No Problems as long as you use the original purchasers name.Quote:

After 2-3 years, most of this stuff is virtually obsolete. [emoji23][emoji23]

I have two HB units that Ive never registered. one of them is almost 2 years old and the other is about 3 or 4 years old....should I register? or is it to late? one other question.....is there any reason I would need to update the units software? I wouldnt know of any updates that are needed but I hear of ppl updating theirs.
Thanks Bill, makes sense . Their had to be a reason so many would buy used .
So...What ya gonna get Coach ?
Most likely a Helix -9 si . Those red ear at tippah would sure enough be in trouble !
