I installed my new 998 HD today. I followed all of the directions on mounting the transducer and things went very smoothly with the overall install. There is movement between the transducer bracket and the transducer itself. The DVD that came with it said that a proper install will result in some movement, but this seems to be a little more than I expected. All washers were installed and there no extra parts left over when done. I guess I'm just looking for a little reassurance that everything is copesthetic. This is my first venture into SI and can't wait to get it on the water!!!
