Side imaging???

[1javelin]

I had 898 units at console and bow, never used the SI at bow because of the interference lines.  So, this time around, I have a 998 for console and 859 for bow.  It's your money and your decision though, make it for how you fish.

In my new Nitro, I had 2 HB 899 DI/SI units installed- 1 at console and 1 at bow including Ethernet setup. I had the bow unit transducer mounted onto my trolling motor while my console unit was mounted on the transom. Whats neat is since im running an Ethernet, I can switch which transducer I want to read in each HB 899 unit. So for instance when I am at the bow and want to dropshot, I can set it up so the bow will read my bowmounted transducer so I can use the sonar to watch my dropshot. I also can switch the bowmounted unit to read the transom transducer which would be more likely the situation I would like when covering a lot of ground and wanting to take advantage of the sidescan from the bow. In all likelihood I will never switch the transducer setting at the console unit to the trolling motor transducer. That wouldn't make much sense at all. There are so many variations when you hook 2 together vi Ethernet. Unfortunately I cant run the 360 imaging from the trolling motor because they don't work with the Terrova. And there is no way im gonna sacrifice taking off my Terrova for a Maxxum or Fortrexx because then I will lose my I-pilot Link ability. NO WAY!!!! lol... I also run a Lowrance Mark-5x Pro at the console as well. Sometimes its nice to see whats directly underneath you for the purpose of dropping marker bouys..
