Not very happy today. For the second time my 898 SI combo has a problem with the transducer. First one replaced under warranty within the first twelve months. This one is coming up two years and the head unit will not detect the transducer. Another Humminbird unit I tested it on says the same. It went from good to will not read. No cable issues apparent and transducer is in good condition.
It seems to me they are consumables - but not at the price. I have two boats and between them three other sounders. Never have any problems with other transducers - now two SI transducers in three years. Not happy!!!!
I will be contacting Hummingbird through the retailer. I can tell you it if I do not get a satisfactory result I will be posting on every forum in Australia that I can find.
Anyone else having similar issues?
Cheers
