Can anyone recommend someone who repairs Hummingbirds? Thanks.

p.s. It has to be slow when I have 3 of the most recent posts.
When I had a Humminbird a couple of years back, I had a few problems with it and I contacted them directly. Their customer service was exceptional and I highly recommend getting in touch with them and let them suggest your next course of action. They are in Eufaula, Al.

x2 on Humminbird’s customer service. Those guys are great.
Earlier this year, I thought I had an issue with one of my units and sent it in because it wouldn’t power up. Even though I had a solid 13 volts at the back connector, it just wouldn’t come on.
They tested my unit, called me to confirm that was really the issue because it worked fine for them, and sent it back with some troubleshooting tips and a test report immediately. I had it back before the weekend. They didn’t charge me a dime. (Granted my 'Bird was under warranty)
Ultimately the issue was a poor connection at the fuse block. It all has to do with electrical theory. I had voltage, but not a good path for current-too much resistance…dumb mistake.
Anyhoo- Humminbird’s customer service and technical support impressed me.
Thank you for the responses. I will try that. I also have the power problem.
Thank you SCGMC… The power issue you described is the exact issue I have. I cleaned the contacts and it works great. Would not have figured it out with out you. What a great club we have.
Anytime. Glad I could help.
