Reply With QuoteI also need ideas of mounting the transducer for front without putting on the trolling motor. I want something small not bulky. Still debating on the trolling motor as I frequently hit bottom or stumps with it.

I have a 899ci and a 898 c. What info can be transferred between the Ethernet cable?
Will I have to have the external GPS puck for the 898?
Will the sonar work off one or both transducers?
Is the cable all I will need?

Thanks Rickie. That will do what I need it to. I don't need dead on GPS accuracy. I mainly longline. Plan on upgrading to Bluetooth units soon but a friend gave me his old 898 when he upgraded. It would be nice if I can get through with these until the next big technology change. I figure I'm only a year or two away the way the market is going.
