Sorry to hear that. Maybe the anchor rope will get tangled around the thief's foot while putting it out. 5ft rope in 50ft of water.
Sorry to here that. I hate a thief!!!
Also sorry to hear that. I hope that the law catches them. I would beat the crappie out of him or them if I were to catch them. Blackhawk961 is right a short rope in deep water works wonders. :hatchet:
So sorry for you! A low-down dirty shame! That head assy won't do him much good w/o the wiring harness. Might notify Lowrance and see if anybody in your area orders a wiring harness. Won't help you, but maybe it may help to catch the low-life so he won't hurt somebody else.
Post the SS number if you have it so folks will know it if they are looking to buy a used unit. Hate to hear this happened to you and hope the person is caught.
Humminbird might be able to trace it, via GPS, when the thief turns it on. I mean, if the satellites allow us to see where we are on the lake, surely they can show Humminbird where the unit is being used.
Has anyone heard any thing on the new Hummingbird Helix 5 SI DI units. Thinking about replacing my 898 that was stole with that. That will probably fit in the dash and wont have to worry about getting stole as quick not being on a ram mount.
I just talked (via PM) with Brian at BBG Marine. The Helix units are on back order, probably because it is a good price on a good uni. I am getting one for the front of my boat when they come in. You can PM Brian and tell him what you want and he will let you know when they come in. He beat BPS and Cabela's by about 10% on my particular unit.

Hate hearing a working man had something stole from him. I hate a thief.:mad:
Thanks SeaRay. In fact BBG (Brian) is where I bought my unit from that was stolen. My trolling motor came from him too. Is he on this site or BBC or do I need to look up his web page.
This is his webpage bbgmarine/

Can't have nothing on account thieves steal anything they can get their hands on last year I had eight rod and reels stolen out of my boat.my was tied to my dock right in front of the house sure wish I could have caught um.
Got prices today on a bird 899 si to replace my stolen unit. Prices have come down since I bought my 898 years ago.
But holy cow to get it mounted in the dash
the labor cost almost as much as the unit :(
looks like I be ram mounting it again
I'll say it again....... I hate a thief!!! ......but if you mount it to a ram bracket you can take it out of the boat when not in use. Its a lot of trouble but it'll save you some money.
