Got the interlink for the 998 and 788 in today, going to be helpful to share info between the two. Now, if I can only figure out how to hook them up.:eek: Got in the Raptor sun guards for them today also. Don't know why they don't come with the units in the first place.
Sounds good Maj. I still don't know how to program my vcr so I know I would be lost with one of those new side finders. I cannot tell much about the pictures...I guess after awhile you can figure out what your looking at huh? Anyway glad you got the rest of the gear that you need for your units. If I ever decide to get one I may have to get you to show me how to work it.
Be happy to G, after I figure mine out.:confused:Quote:

Interlink. Is that what you and CN call it? Man, if you need instructions, CN is gonna be really disappointed.

I ain't the one that had to leave town and also tore my boat up n the heat of the Spawn on RB:D:D
Maj, if they gave those to you when you bought the unit, how are they supposed to make extra money on them?
motor getting fixed as we speak, total gear replacement
What did you do to your boat t-man?
Prolly chewed it up on various sand bars I'm guessing. :)
Actually, hate to hear it. No man deserves a lower unit failure. That just ain't right.
Wannabe...
Not even Triton
and tore it up. Why you think he's been in Bama all these weekends fishing? At first, I just thought he was scared of seeing me on the water and compairing catches only to see me with a bunch of fish and him with none;)
my man, only thing scary was that little bucket!!Quote:

Glad you got it figured out Maj.....I still don't know what your talking about but glad you got it going your way.
G, the interlink hooks the two ff's together so if I mark a waypoint with the 788 up front it sends that info to the 998 at the console and vice versa. They can share other info too.Quote:

Which one did yu get? I'm going to put my 596ci up front on this new boat and going witha 997 or 1197 on console and I want an interlink for them. Also where did you mount it
duck, is the 596 a h'bird?
Yea
don't reckon I ever seen that one
Nothing fancy just a color gps unit. I've been pleased with it though.
must be a similar unit to the 522 lowrance unit
Why do you keep leaving out the 998?:confused: It has new stuff that the 997 doesn't and can't be upgraded to, ie. video out, faster processors etc. Don't skimp on your new boat, even if you have to wait a little longer. My .02. ;) Good luck and I wish I was getting a new boat.:cool:Quote:

Actually haven't seen the 998, I just assumed you guys were talking bout the 997. I'm computerless these days, doing everything via my iPhone. Thanks for the offer I will prob
be giving you a shout when it comes time. I like to do things myself but I have thought about havingeverything rigged and ready by the dealer, I'm just to cheap for all that lol.
Is that similar to a "download"?Quote:

how 'bout just a transfer of data from one unit to the other??? :p
Ok Maj, interlink is in the way. Don't worry bout the greasin part, save that fer DD, just tell me what hickups or tricks there is to hookin it up. Mine should be here Thursday along with replacement ducer for front , which inadvertantly got broke off durin my last mission. I knowed better to try and go where I went, but I just had to go try it and now it cost me $58 and some change. But back to the real question. What's the troubles you had?
I think Maj refers to it as an "Insertion Tactic". Seent that on Kids Modern Warfare game one night and was plumb imbarrased to askem what it was.Quote:

You probably wouldn't have made the mistake I made in the first place, but I couldn't figure out what to do with the "y" cord. The references I am making above are taken from page No 6 of the instructions CD. If you need any help, let me know.Quote:
