hi Lloydus i've been doing the same myself, here's a list of sites in the uk that i visited. I opted for a Phirana Max 10, about the middle of road, works a treat for me.

www.fishingheaven.co.uk/hummingbird fishfinder.html

www.northeastmarineelecronics.com

Google it in UK. Then take your choice.

[Lloydus]

Already done that, no luck.

There dont seem to be many hummingbird dealers in the uk, johnsons outdoors are the uk suppliers though and they own hummingbird. Give them a ring and they would be able to help with dealers and prices. The number is 01493745192.

This is the company that Johnsons put me onto. Very helpful, very quick delivery and after sales service (I needed a manual which they emailed to me as a PDF file)

The company link referred to is not supplied from the UK. I can only warn again - Buying fom the US has these disadvantages :-

 

1) You stand a 50/50 chance of having the parcel impounded by customs & face a possible fine because units made for sale in the US are NOT CE approved - It is illegal to import OR use products that are not CE approved, CE products are made on seperate production to the European specification.

 

2) US warranty is one year & is held with the company you bought from - i.e. the US retailer so that you have to return it to the US. Compare this with 2 years in the UK (units are built to the higher spec required by CE regulation so are built to a higher spec)

 

3) Units (where applicable) are not compatible with EU charts & measurement criteria.

 

To declare my interest - Johnson Outdoors are the owners of Humminbird - We benefit whether you buy in the UK or the US so have no axe to grind other than the fact that if you ignore the above then you take the chances associated with this. The strong $/£ rate makes it look attractive to buy from the States.....it could be an expensive 'saving' particularly if confiscated by HM Customs & Excise.- You have no recourse in this case...I explain this to a number of people literally every week - We cannot help if it is an illegal import!.The US seller probably doesn't even know about EU regulations so is unlikely to admit to an illegal import if it means that he will be fined - if he does know & sends anyway he is putting the risk on to the end customer.....that would be you!
