Thread: 1199-1159 install what else is needed?

It says ethernet and side imaging capatible units..... 59s dont have SI and that list is misleading.

I knew I seen it somewhere that the 1159 was compatible with the 360. Then I could not find it again anywhere. Was thinking I seen it at Bass Pro shop on a box or on the little touch screen demo video they had playing of the 360. Would be nice to be able to upgrade to 360 later with out having to sell my 1159 and then get another 1199 for the bow to use the bow mount 360. Which is where I would want it.

I hope you didn't get your 1159 to use with the 360, a call to customer service yesterday did reveal that info on the box is a misprint.

No plan for a 360 yet. But would be nice option to have later. I am in the units cheap enough I could always sell and upgrade to another 1199 and 360 later. Will also see what the ION units do for reviews during this next year or so to.

If you're serious about your fishing, you might want to send that 1159 back in the box it came in and get another 1199 and the 360. I love it more and more each time I go out.

All I fish for is crappie and 90% of the time it is dipping standing timber. Not sure how much the 360 would help me on my home lake of Truman.

You'll be surprised. Its better the slower you are going. Why dip barren timber? I'd keep that 1159 in the box and contact your sponsor about returning.

I don't dip, I'm a troller, but this past Sunday, I found a school on Guntersville and without 360 would have never been able to stay on them. In the past, I would have caught two or three, have it dry up and move on. With 360, I saw where the school moved and stayed with them, picking off active fish all afternoon.

Yep, and it was ticking me off! I hate having to ask for help while fishing. I though the 360 would be a waste until I fished beside Stymie Sunday afternoon... Guess what, I am shopping now.
