Look at page 20 and 21...wonder if one of these options is what you selected because 2 of them ignore the interlink after initial data transfer until you power the control head back up.

well i went and looked at my accessory menu. and it says for th 957 that the interlink is on but the gps isnt. and the 997 says interlink is on along with gps temperature etc. so im thinking theres an option on there to switch to external gps. i remember seein it before and turnd it on. but it shut off or i shut it off or something. but anyhow now i cant find it. anybody know where its located?

well i finally got her figured out on the gps. i had to call humminbird. and they said to disconnect the "y cable" and i said whats a "y cable"? and she said thats probly your problem. so i dug through my box of junk and found it. problem solved. now im goin to try n get out soon and check out that side imaging. and see bout takin some pics for you guys. if i cant get that fuzziness to go away. ima try n make sum adjustments on the water to try n clear it up. supposed to rain the next 4 days. so we will see

Glad to hear you got it going. Figured it would be something simple. Just play with your settings and I bet you'll clean that picture up. Get the boat on the water and don't even think about fishing..just play and experiment...the time will be well spent. Have fun with your new toy!

So you now have an external GPS Receiver connected to the 957c unit and another external GPS Receiver connected to the 997c Si unit? This is the best connection option for your units and would require you to use the AS-YC Y-cable with each unit.

Post those Si pics.
