Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 22 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Great Unit I have just got my unit installed and started using it. It gives you so much information that it can be confusing, however when I do learn to use it all I will be able to do a lot more on the water. Initial setup is time consuming and can get a little tricky for a non comuter geek person but I did so anyone can. YOu gotta have one of these!! May 13, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by compatability problems careful Buying this product...The box clearly says that the unit is compatable with NAVIONICS PLATINUM+....Well it isn't.....also through tech support at Hummingbird. Now i am stuck with a 200 dollar SD card I can't use or return..... The inturnal maps are unuseable in my area of the Texas Gulf coast..shows running over land masses when in inter-coastal waterway. this is totally unexceptable in my charter business. HUMMINGBIRDS response "we are not going to do anything for you. sue us." sonar definition is nothing like what is demoed. May 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by good unit best fish finder i've ever owned! great picture and gps is dead on as well easy to navagate the menu without much reading of the manuel,catching more fish already! April 10, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by best purchase yet the clarity and proformance of the 798 is unserpast by nothing i have ever used the side imaging plus the switch fire are unreal dont know how i fished without it April 9, 2012

Details: 
I have an old basic H323 model and want to upgrade to the 798ci HD SI.
The old one has a hull-thru transducer but does not read temperature. Would I have to replace the transducer with a new hull-thru and the cable back to the unit?

You will need to install the side imaging transducer on the transom in order to get side imaging. It comes with the 798.

The 798ci HD SI Combo cables are not compatible with the 323 unit. You would need to use the cables/transducer that comes with the 798ci HD SI fishfinder. Thanks!

Details: 
I'm switching to Hummingbird after 4 years of no real fix with non-working GPS on my Lowrance 520C units. Factory has had me replace 8 GPS antenna modules then told me it was the units that were bad but they would not help as the units were now out of warranty. 30+ years of using Lowrance products and now they tell me too bad for you.

The In-Dash Mounting Kit model IDMK 700E requires an opening of 5.76"W X 4.46"H. Therefore, if the openings are the same size you would be able to use the same location. Thanks

Yes, it does, but I believe that is where I have encountered my power issues with the unit. Highly recommend another unit for the other location.

A: 
This unit comes standard with a Transom Mount Transducer. Any other options would need to be purchased separately. Humminbird also offers a Trolling Motor Mount Transducer and a Thru Hull Transducer.

Staff Answer
A: 
Side imaging will work on a pontoon boat as long as the transducer is mounted in a location on the back of the boat/pontoon that will not allow blockage to the left or the right. If anything, at the slower speeds you may need to trim the engine out so that it is out of the way while using the Side Imaging at the slower speeds. Thanks

Staff Answer
A: 
Per Humminbird, with proper installation the digital depth and regular 2D sonar will work at high speeds. Otherwise, there is an option to add on a second transducer to the setup with a y-cable if needed to obtain the high speed readings if not possible with the included transducer. The transom transducer would be the XNT 9 20 and the y-cable would be the AS SI LR Y. Thanks

A: 
The Side Imaging is good down to 150ft. Anything past this is generally too grainy or distorted to be of any use so the maximum depth capability of the SI is 150ft. Thanks!
