I have these 2 units in hand. Can they be interlinked and if so what are the advantages of networking them. Currently I have the 718 on the bow with the transducer on the transom. I intend to move the 718 transducer to the trolling motor and put the side imaging on the transom. I will be leaving the 718 on the front of the boat and putting the 798 on the rear.

I am open for suggestions before I commit to this setup.

BTW, I am running an external gps with nmea 0183 on the 718 so no donut
