Question For The Humminbird Gurus

If I had a HB Matrix 87c on the bow and a HB 797 in the dash is there a way to hook them up to the same GPS antenna? And is there a way I can hook them together so that when I enter a waypoint into one it will also put that waypoint in the other?

Yes, the Interlink what you are looking for.

I have one and as of right now though it is unhooked. It worked fine and then went down hill. I think its just my link because i have buds who have them and work fine. There are a few that are having the same trouble that i am having.

The only thing you may have to update the software on the Matrix 87, but the Both unit will work with Interlink.

Any of the 700, 900 and the 1100 series will work with Interlink.

I check the website often and update my unit when new updates are available. Is there something else I should be doing?

I have been wondering the same thing for the past week or so. I have a 717 on the front and I am thinking of putting a 755c on the console. I need GPS capabilities in both places. So, if I understand this right, I can get an "interlink" and have the 717 show what the 755c shows?

Only gps waypts. Make sure they are both compatible with interlink.
