stratos284 Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I got out to the lake this morning ran over to my honey hole made two casts and my month old trolling motor quit hoping it was just a fuse that I didnt have any of with me I said oh well we will just cruise around and mark some new spots with my 2 week old 797 c2 SI so we cut across the lake going about 40mph in 50+ ft of water when I lose the bottom lock so I knew the the breakaway mount had done just that because it happenend yesterday so I stopped reached behind the boat to pop it back in place so I reach down there only to find a wire and nothing else thats right a 2 week old transducer somewhere on the bottom of Ky lake I was so ticked that I couldnt even speak my son wouldnt even look at me so I said were done we loaded up headed home fixed the breaker on the tm priced a new transducer 150.00 hopfully hummingbird will work with me on this because it was the mount that broke off the screws and part of the mount was still there it just broke the center of it out so I email them and hope to hear from them soon I guess thats what I get for not going to church today Quote

Super User cart7t Posted August 20, 2007 Super User Posted August 20, 2007 I'm exhausted just reading it. ;D Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted August 20, 2007 Super User Posted August 20, 2007 Hey Guys, I thought I was the grammer cop around here. Regardless, thanks for the help and your knowledge to be able to help. I guess Stratos284 thought periods were just for women. ;D ;D ;D Quote
Super User skunked_again Posted August 20, 2007 Super User Posted August 20, 2007 thats when you know youre burning mad, you dont even care if theres a . or a , in the whole post. Quote
jdw174 Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 The TM was bad, but if I had just laid out the $$$ for one of those 'Bird units and had that happen I'd have gone into a case of the screamin' meemies. I'd be interested in Humminbird's response to this. Quote
George Welcome Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 1- you need to find somewhere else to buy a transducer as that price is rediculous. 2- even if the mount broke the wire would not just fall out of the transducer. You had to hit something. Quote
acar555 Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 The side imaging transducer are expensive, but Humminbird will take care of him. Quote
stratos284 Posted August 21, 2007 Author Posted August 21, 2007 Well I called hummingbird today,,,,,,,,,,,, They told me to send proof of purchase and a new transducer would be on the way............................ Hummingbird customer service is 1st class........................Now as for the grammar police I placed a few extra ..............................,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!((((()))))))::::::::;;;;;;;"""""""''''''............. so if you wouldnt mind please place them in the apropriate places in my original post and if there are any left you can keep them for yourself or save them for any of my future post because I am positive that I will continue to forget to put some..........or,,,,,,,,,,,,,,or????????????or!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!or some other marks where they should be,as for my spelling thats another story so insted of starting a ticking contest with anyone on here I apoligize for my freakin ignorance (spelling) and I'll just laugh this off as ya"ll just pickin on me...............................LOL ;D ;D Quote
Daniel My Brother Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Great attitude stratos284, better to join in on the joke than to get upset and be the butt of it. I'm happy to hear that Humminbird is working with you on the transducer, that says a lot about the company. Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted August 21, 2007 BassResource.com Administrator Posted August 21, 2007 2- even if the mount broke the wire would not just fall out of the transducer. You had to hit something. Agreed. Just last weekend I hit a board floating in the middle of the river. Heard the "THUMP!" as I passed over it, but fortunately no damage to the skeg or prop. But if I had an external transducer mounted on the back like you did, then it's goodbye transducer. Glad to hear Humminbird is taking care of you. And as for the punctuation - just our way of saying "Welcome Aboard!" Quote
