OP SuperG Extreme Angler S Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 1,371 Burleson, TX.	Installed my new 998c si graphs. Also moved the HB 747c from the bow to the console. Had to run all new power wires for the 998's (12g) inline fused from the battery. Pretty stoked. Just need to use them now! First day off today in 27 days, been working some OT to pay for these. The 1.5" RAM mount for the bow graph I already had so I decided to use it. I know swing arms or the 2.25" big ball mounts are recommended for the weight of these units but I plan on lowering the graph while running anyway. I can always step up to the plate later. ~ SuperG ~ 2002 Ranger 520vx ~ Mercury 225 EFI ~ 2005 Ford F150 S-crew 5.4 v8 2wd ~

If you don't lay the display flat on the deck when navigating, that weak mount will do it for you ( I don't think you will like the results). That size mount is marginal at the console in boat wakes or waves.

Man the 998c si units are plain awesome. I didn't have much issue with the direct sunlight and screen issue must complain about. I could see all the submerged timber and tons of bait balls. The definition was awesome compared to what I had before. Should make for a lot of fun on the water for years to come. ~ SuperG ~ 2002 Ranger 520vx ~ Mercury 225 EFI ~ 2005 Ford F150 S-crew 5.4 v8 2wd ~

Seems like alot of the bird guys are going back to 4.9 (or something like that) because they are having all kinds of update problems due to the new 360 & Ipilot link updates. But if its working for you then that's good.

Pretty knowledgeable bird users here and they are having troubles with the new updates. http://www.bbcboards.net/humminbird-sonar-gps/408835-6-740-software-1198-a.html
