Thinking of buying a 798. I know the screen is only 5″, but i’ve got a 334 lowrance with gps. I can run the gps off of it and the side imaging off the 798 and not have to share the screen. I can buy one on sale for $799. Is this a good unit and is there any issues if I run both of these units at the sametime on sonar. Thanks for any info and advice.
Yes it is a great unit, I ran one on my last boat. No issues at all
I had the same idea you have last winter when I found a 798 on sale. I have a 522 with gps that I can run and utilize the full screen on the hbird. One thing to think about that I didn’t is that you will see structure on the side imaging that you can mark by scrolling over to it and making a waypoint. If you are like me, you won’t take the time to transfer waypoints to the lowrance, so now I have two gps units that I need to check at times. Otherwise, it works pretty good, although I’ve seen an 1197 in action and it is a much clearer and easier (bigger) picture to see.
