    Sweet deal, told my wife once this came out the Skeeter was coming out of storage. Looks like I’ll be out after my vacation to Mexico end of this month. Anyone up for some downimaging testing in February? Also looking forward to the new color pallete offering, this was one thing lacking prior to the update that I was always hoping for.

    The 997 is updated and ready to roll. If I have anything to say about it, HBs will be the electronic of choice in dad’s new boat. Can’t say how impressed I am with HB offering this update. Not to mention how simple it is to install updates.

    Just did my 1197 as well. We’ll put it to use tomorrow on P4.

    Took me longer to find an SD card than to download and perform the update!
