Just an FYI if you are looking at purchasing a Humminbird flasher, I purchased a Humminbird Ice 55 flasher and found it didn’t work right out of the box on simulator mode before I could return it and get my rebate I was hurt at work and was down for quite some time. When I finally was able to think without being influenced by medication I contacted Humminbird about returning the flasher for a replacement one and my rebate at which time I was told by Humminbird the time had passed for the rebate and I would need to on my own dime send the flasher away to be repaired first before they would consider replacing it even though it was only less than a year into a two year warranty. I called Cabelas where I purchased it explained my situation made arrangements to get there as I was unable to drive and the gladly took my old flasher and gave me a replacement. I let someone borrow my flasher recently as I’m not quite ready for hard water fishing yet and during the trip they lost the rubber stopper for the transducer cable/float, I checked around for this piece and then called Humminbird and to replace a 25 cent rubber stopper you need to buy the complete repair kit which includes every add on piece to the flasher/ base for a price of $28.95 you can’t just buy the parts you need. Now what gets me is I was actually looking at the Marcum flashers and even though my gut instinct told me to go with the Marcum I was talked into buying the Humminbird, I’m not saying the flashers performance is bad just the service is terrible as is the flasher design. Now I see why IDO team use Marcum!!
