    Buy power cord, transducer, mount, and physically move it up front.

    Are you going to add an Xducer to the bow station for sonar at the front ....or use the existing transom mounted Xducer when the head unit is at the bow station...??

    I have a HB 718 on the trolling motor. Wanted to move BH 597 from console to front of boat to use GPS to mark and find waypoints.
    Talked to HB and ordered from amazon.com Switch, Power cord and Head base for a total of $85.--. Should be just what I needed>

    So what's the switch for... if you're just using the 597ci HD DI Combo for GPS function at the front bow station...??
