I'm having a brain lapse here mikey...

What is "mkr 15 mount"...??

Rickie

I would exchange the transducer that came with your 798 unit for the trolling motor version (XTM-9-Si-180-T) and mount it to your trolling motor and forget about the US2 sonar.

What is the specific model name of your 798 unit Mickey?

I don’t know what a “mkr 15 mount” is either…

I was just going on what the sales guy told me and sold me [wrong thing to do i guess] . He sold me a minn kota trolling motor mount and said the transducer that came with the unit would work with it but it didn't . So today i went to gander mtn and the sales [expert] there sold me a different one and it didn't work either . Greg its a 798ci SI

You can either follow Greg's advice and exchange your Xducer for the XTM-9-Si-180-T...(if your Xducer is new)...

Or buy this TM adapter hardware to mount your compact SI to the TM...
AD XTM 9 :: Humminbird

Or this from Transducer Shield and Saver...
Transducer Shield and Saver - See More Fish, Catch More Fish! - TM-Csi

Or...or....or...

You can use this HDSI TM Xducer and get better 455kHz images ...due to the longer SI crystals in this xducer...
(This Xducer also has 800kHz but your 798 does not have the circuitry to read the 800)..

Is that enough options to boggle your brain...??
