How does it mount? Is that the 1197 Humminbird?

Mounts with holes on the sides where the knobs attach to the bracket.
That is the 1197 Humminbird.

I just e-mailed them to see if they make one for the 898 yet.

seems like that would be a piece of cake to fabricate, bend a piece of sheet metal in 2 places, drill 2 holes, round the corners off and bolt it on. I might make one for my 480.
COMING SOON! .. THE STICKLE HOOK " the stay level sickle hook". sits level in the water with all knots.! Provides better hook sets and more natural jigging motion. No more adjusting the knot, gluing , or tying loop knots that cause the hook point to tangle in the loop, or worse knick the line.. The jighook that will make all others obsolete !

It looks more like corrugated plastic. Should be easy to make.

Raptor Fish Technologies makes them for hds and humminbird. I one have on each unit and it makes a BIG difference. These are held on with velcro strips. Have had mine for 4 months and have not lost one yet!

if its plastic it could be heated up with a heat gun and bent to desired shape.

I really like mine, the 997 shield should fit the 898...I think the 898, 997, 998 have the same housing...
It does help a lot when the sun is anywhere but behind you shining directly on the screen...If it is up in the sky you get a shaded effect depending on the angle...
I talked to a friend the other day on the water that made one of these for his 1197...It looked good so I asked him if he was going to start making them for sale and he said that it took him about a week to make it fit right so no he wasn't...
They are plastic and good luck, you will save yourself 10-15 bucks...

Have had mine for 4 months and have not lost one yet! I have one from Raptor also and really like it. It stays on at 80mph on land and 55mph on water. Sure helps. Raptor Cap
