  1. Just a little advise. If your buying a Humminbird Depth Finder GPS Combo and have a VHF Radio, the Humminbird will cause static on your VHF radio. Should have the warning on the box. I bought the unit thinking all was good but not so. After trying 100 different ways to stop the static with no results with some ideas from Humminbird and some electronics shops. 2 weeks later, pulling my hair out. Humminbird tells me to send it to their service depot in North Bay by Purolator because they know whats wrong. The service tech says he has the Part for unit, and when you get it back the static will be gone. So off to Purolator it goes, $32.00 it cost ME to ship. 3 days later I got my machine back. Great fast service, but why, in the first place. If they new what the problem was, why the run-around. Should be a call back on their machines. I called Humminbird to see if I get reimburse my shipping cost and they said sorry,they can't. Seems like, we the consumer, are tackle testers for there products at our expense.

    Would I buy another Humminbird? rofl2.gif

     

    OH, and yes, no more static.

  6. ? Care to translate?

     

    So... you know an auto tech who sells cars and doesn't bother with the Emergency brake? Or does a terrible job repairing/installing the Emergency brake?

     

    And you bought a car from them and now learnt that the guy doesn't care about Emergency brakes and so now you're concerned about the Emergency brake on your newly purchased car?

     

    Is that what's happening?

     

     

    Post makes little sense at all...

     

     

    It makes perfect sense if you reread the first two sentences.

  7. Thanks Frank and Albert, Mike that was the exact reasonsarcasm.gif JK. I was asked today to come in on monday for overtime, so I accepted. Now I have to push 3 days of work into 2 at homewallbash.gif . I told my girls this as well and a chance thunderstorms as well. They took it well. My youngest made me promise a morning of fishing on sundayblush.gifgood.gif

    Best of luck to all of you that are attendinggood.gif

  8. Nothing wrong with your rant, for me, brakes are those things that prevent the splat or in other words, lack of ability to come to a controlled stop.

    Exactly!

    So why screw around and advise bad info?

    E Brakes have been usefull to me to me in 2 situations in the past 10 yrs. Well worth the money indeed

  9. For the folks that are licensed auto or truck techs, im sure we all have swung things threw to a degree. I have no problem with this to a certain point. But when it comes to the mere safety to us, our kids, others on the rd. Then it needs to be done properly!!!

    I purchased a vehicle knowing what it needed, no probs on my part. A complete brake job regardless including emerg brakes is always done for starters. Even if what is new/brand new. I do it for my sake and my childrens sake.

    Yes Im speaking out only because one I know should know better. Quote You dont need emergency brakes, who cares anyway end of quote. I was so peed off, That in return I said, spending a ton of $ rust spots is a safety concern for your new born, and it flew threw at 350 ksmad.gif Fly by stickers dont corispond to meblink.gif

    .

    As Im typing, Im taking a break to finish off the brake job( e brakes)

    Sorry folks, I had to get that one out of me. Safety and compliance are my#1 things regardless.

    Pm me if you dont want to post it.

    Be safe and play safe

    Keep our kids safe, they are our futuregood.gif
