Rated 5 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hummingbird 1198c SI combo Simply amazing at the difference between this unit and the 898 SI combo. I linked the two units together which gives you arsenal to locate and mark fish. Would recommend to anyone thinking about purchasing a SI combo to go ahead and put the money into the 1198 especially now that you link to the minn kota trolling motor to set up routes by way pints or by certain depths of water May 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by very nice unit Nice unit,Easy to use and a nice clear screen.I use the swivel mount instead of the ball mount and workd very well for me. May 8, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Excellent Unit! I recently had the 1198c mounted on the front of my Nitro with the transducer on the trolling motor and moved my 998c to the console. This is an awesome combination! I went on vacation shortly after the install and was able to easily identify large hybrids feeding on raised humps and limited out 4 days in a row. The 1198c screen is very clear and easy to see while standing. I would definitely recomend this unit to anyone who wants to increase their fishing success. June 12, 2011

A: 
No, There are many mounting options from Transom Mounting to Thru-Hull Mounting by drilling hole to mount optional Side Imaging Thru Hull Transducer to Jackplate mounting. ANytime you mount higher than the bottom of the boat you will need XP 9 20 Transducer and AS SI DB Y Cable to get onplane speed readings since the SI transducer will be out of the water when running on plane in Fiberglass bass boats.

A: 
You can mount it on the transom. Just make sure there is no obstruction to the right or left. May have to trim your motor up a little when using the SI. I've never had to. SI is best about 3 mph. I installed mine on the transom just to the right of the motor about 15 inches in accordance with the instruction. You will see a little motor wash on the screen when you make a turn. Your viewing of SI will be while you are driving in a straight line.

You have to Purchase the SD Card Separately. I recommend using the SanDisk Brand Extreme III and 2GB will give you tons of storage capacity for Screen Captures, Sonar Recordings and allow you save GPS Data and Update Software.

Details: 
and on the normal setting like on the cheaper fish finders that have colour display what sypolizes a fish. and dopes that map of the lake show contour lines. on the side imaging does it show fish off to the side alwel or does it just show structure. does it show structure on all sides of the boat or just one at a time. on the die imaging will it show my bait in the water if so will it show it at the bottom as well as if it was only a foot below the water.

A: 
Here is an image from Humminbrid Side Imaging of a Bass munching on bait fish. If you add a Mapping Card you wil lget contour lines displayed on the GPS Mapping Views. You need 2D sonar to vertical fish and see your lure. The thin narrow beam front-to-rear of DI does not make it easy to see your lure but makes it easy to see high detail images of the fish, bait and structure.

A: 
Humminbird® Side Imaging® Sonar uses a razor thin beam to take a "sonar snapshot" of the area up to 240 ft. to the left and right of your location. The return image for this slice is then added to the images taken immediately before and after to build an incredibly detailed view of the lake bottom.

Features

Mark the GPS location of promising structure directly on the screen High frequency sonar (not a camera) cuts through murk with crystal clarity Up to 480 feet of coverage from side to side, scans huge areas fast Units with Side Imaging® also includes traditional own-looking "2D" sonar

A: 
The difference between the 1197 and the 1198 fish finders are minimal. The Humminbird 1198 has a slightly faster processor and the screen looks different. Thank you!
