Humminbird Problems - getting frustrated.

[Lane]

The other night I took my 1 year old Ice45 out for a quick crappie bite. This was the third time out this year (due to the real world) and when I went to turn off my unit, it wouldn't shut off. I had to unplug the battery to get the unit to shut off. Hoping it was just a one time issue, I hooked up the battery and had to turn the knob past 2x to finally turn it on, and then it was stuck on 1x and wouldn't turn off. I sent the unit down to Alabama to get fixed, got it back last week. It turns off and on like it is supposed to, but now the digital display in the middle just oscolates between the depth and 0 ft. I am starting to wish I would have gotten a marcum.

Call them and tell them what is going on. You will get a real person and I bet the issue gets resolved in the first 5 minutes.

let us know how good the customer service is. i'm very curious how they handle the problem with your unit, as i am a fellow humminbird ice series owner

I have had mine not turn off also and had to disconnect the battery. But it has not happened since. I will be sending mine in to have it looked at probably on Monday, as its still fishable and the problems don't seem to last. My other options are to return this unit and go with another brand. I don't know yet. You would think with these issues I would already be on another brand, but I just have so much hope for these units.

And by the way, many people say that you do not get any interference from other units. Well I go some from a vex 5 feet away in 32FOW. Although it was taken care of with the noise button, I just want everyone to know that the claim of zero interference is not true.

Some times one will get some interference and it is simply fixed with a turn of a knob.

The Bird has less interference than any of my other flashers I own.

I have only once had to adjust noise from mine, and I would assume it was because of another bird, as I was fishing in a group of people. I havent had any issues at all with my Ice-55

hows the ice 55 or any humminbird for a newbie on flashers?

[CJH]

My Ice 55 was my first flasher and its been great. Super easy to use.

I would say it is the easiest to use of any of the flashers out there.

[harvey lee]

Very user friendly.

Read the manual and play with it a bit. Then on the ice, look at the manual and play with it and it will not take long to fihure out the adjustments.

The Ice 55 is easy to use. As Tom said read the manual.

The digital depth and auto depth function makes for some of that ease of use.
