Upgrading & networking
Posted: Wed Jan 28, 2015 10:33 am
I am looking to make some changes upgrades etc. with my Hummingbird fish finders & trolling motor. I'm interested in your thoughts success & failures to accomplish, so please bare with me... I am looking to add a Hummingbird 859ci HD combo to the bow (this leads to another question to follow). I currently have a Hummingbird 1198 at the driver side with GPS & Navionics Hot maps.
Question #1: If I network these two will I be required to purchase another Navionics chip or will I see the same mapping on the 859 at the bow?
#2: Is the HB AS interlink all I will need to accomplish this?
#3: I’m also replacing my trolling motor with a Minn Kotta Fortex US2. I understand this TM has a transducer installed. Will this transducer work with the 859 down imaging or will I be required to install a puck style transducer to the TM for the Di?
Thank you in advance for your comments, I appreciate any advice I can get.
