898c si

[FAADAN]

Looking at this unit to replace the DSI unit I had stolen. Any good or bad comments?

[gobbler]

i got one last year, liked it so much i just added a second to the front. though it would be nice to have the larger screen, i keep my si range on 105' and it works well for me.

I also bought one for console and liked it so much I bought another for the bow and networked them together...I love the set up.

Do either of you use a transducer shield on the Trolling Motor?

[gobbler]

i don't.

[Stymie]

I have two, like them and have the transducer shield for the TM ducer.

btw they are coming out with an upgrade in december, if you can wait, I'd recommend buying the newer model.

Any idea what the upgrade will do?

[Stymie]

It has a better screen, LED backlit display.

Yeah, Faadan, you should def wait and confirm when you purchase that you are getting the new screen. You will be able to view a lot better in sunlight. The current model gets a lot of complaints from actual users.

[Stymie]

There are work arounds and it is usable, but yes it is a complaint among users.
