Thread: Humminbird 717

I like mine had it two years or so working fine.

Do you have GPS in it? or any other accessories?

I have it linked with a 737 both on the back of the boat with one gps receiver we troll most of the time out of the back. I have a mount at the bow with a 535 just to read depth if we spider rig I move 717 to the bow an we can fish the spots we marked trolling. The remote receivers I have one at the back an one at the bow close to tranducers this way when you move one you do get off the length of the boat

I noticed that they sell cables that link with Garmin and Magellan handheld GPS units do they have one that will link with a Lowrance Ifinder? Maybe one of the humminbird guys can enlighten me on this!

I wanted to do this a few years ago at that time you had to get a cable from each company an then splice together this may have changed. I went with the 737 at that time same lake chip fits both. I had the H2O.

I pretty much figured that since they are both competitors with each other that a cable would be unavailable from either one. It's really no problem since I do have RAM mount for my Ifinder and it works great.

CAN I LINK MY 987CsI TO THE 717 ?? i MARK THEM ON MY CONSOLE AND CAN I USE THE 717 UP FRONT TO SEE MY WAYPOINTS???
