    Question How is Humminbird doing, when will the Solix be available

    I've been holding out on upgrading to the Solix units but there doesn't seem to be inventory for the last 7 months. Is everything okay at HB and does anyone know when they will be available.

    Thanks.

    The world-wide shortage of semi-conductors has not been changed to abundant yet.

    So the issue is related to supply of components and not manufacturing resources?

    Well there is that COVID-19 thing that affected production with the parts they had.

    I too have been waiting on Solix scince November. Finally broke down 2 months ago and ordered helix…still waiting. They sent me cables, hub, chips, splitters, m360, just no helix units.
