Only the I pilot link will network with the hummingbird. 897?....has to be an Ethernet capable unit. if it is a 898 the cable from the trolling motor Link unit will connect directly to the back of the unit. if you meant the 899 you will need an Ethernet adapter cable to hook the Ethernet cable to the unit.

If its the I pilot link then it should come with about a 20' or 30' Ethernet cable and connect it straight the back of the 898

It's not the link you put on your old trolling motor , it's a a new trolling motor with the built in I pilot

There should be a DC power cable, an ethernet cable and a short cable which is where a foot control would attach.

Your model trolling motor will not link with the humminbird graph. You can buy hem in ipilot or ipilot link models. The ipilot link model is the one you need to buy. Your current motor will not link with your humminbird graph

that unit will not network. It will say link along with I Pilot description. Does the 4 hole plug come out from the base then that is for the foot pedal

It means you get all the I pilot features but as far as linking up to the Humminbird and being able to use the networking features it's not gonna happen.
