Hi everyone i need some advice. i will be getting a 2012 nitro Z7, right now i have a HB 858c, my plan is to put my 858c in the bow of the boat. now, my question is what should i get for myself behing the wheel??? i was thinking of the 998c si
also if i link these 2 units are they compatible thanks for your help.

Not sure what you are meaning by “compatible” carlg.

The 858c and 998c Si units can be Ethernet connected together (as can other units) and share GPS Receivers, temperature, waypoint data and some sonar (the 858c cannot use the Si/Di sonar data from the 998c Si unit).  Is that what you were meaning?

Hi Greg, yep you answered the question. i wasen't sure if you could interlink both units. so i could use my 858c at the bow with the transducer hooked up on the trolling motor and the 998c si tranducer hooked up to my jack plate which cable do i need to interlink both units to use the gps ?
thanks

Have you looked at the AS interlink.  check HB web for description. It is under accessories....

Sorry carlg I have been conducting a solder training class all week.

The AS-InterLink that Chuck mentioned would be what you would use to InterLink those two units but – the better option would be to Ethernet connect them using one of the AS-EC cables.  These come in a variety of lengths or 2, 10, 15, 20 or 30 foot lengths.  The part numbers will tell you which length they are: AS-EC-2E is a two-foot cable, the AS-EC-10E is a 10 foot cable… and so on.  This is also the cheaper way to connect two units as well.
