I recently attempted to upgrade by purchasing a 597c HD to take the GPS function and screen space off my 997. Also to overcome the slow refresh rate with Lakemaster chip on the 997.
Disappointed in the internal GPS on the 597 @ <2 mph caused me the rethink the whole deal.
Well……. I bought a 1198c si and am excited for the open water ! Decided to keep the 997 as a Bow and possible transom mount option with another possibilty of mounting the SI transducer on my small boat when I use it. Not sure exactly how I can rig everything to do what I want but am thinking that since I have a Terrova I-pilot the bow is an easy hook-up but the transom might be a bit more challenging. I have a glassed in transducer as well as the side image transducer with the y cable. Thinking I may be able to dedicate the SI to one unit or the other and the glassed in transducer to the other. Anybody have any thoughts on this ?
Possible ? ( I think so ) practical ??
I did pick-up a Interlink but see I can only share gps data not sonar.
Anybody have any thoughts on this ?
