Title: 898c HD SI Combo, Discontinued?
Post by: J.Miles on October 05, 2013, 09:02:03 AM

Hello, This is my first post because I just purchased a new 898c HD SI Combo. I went to Humminbird's website to register the unit to find out that they no longer list the 898c HD SI or the 998c HD SI Combo, they are now listed as 899 and 999ci HD SI. My question is did I invest in a discontinued unit?  http://store.humminbird.com/products/740547/899ci_HD_SI_Combo (http://store.humminbird.com/products/740547/899ci_HD_SI_Combo)

It may be possible that this is discontinued.
I just noticed that there is an 1199 unit available.
Humminbird comes out with new products October 1 every year.

Even when HB discontinues a current model...software updates will be available for that unit for several years...at least until the internal parts can no longer jive with the updates...
