Sun Shield For The Humminbird 1197's and 1198 Units
« on: May 28, 2011, 11:25:50 AM »
Does anyone know where I can find a sun shield or visor for my Humminbird 1198.  I had a Raptor Cap for my 898 but it seems they do not make one for the 1197/1198 series :'(  .    Anyone have any suggestions ?

Thanks

Where did you get your raptor cap from? I have an 898 and constantly battle the sun.

Ordered online.   Just type in Raptor Cap and the website will come up.  They are nice for water spots and shading the sun.

Team Watters also sells sunshields for our units.  I was told that they were working on one for the 1100 series units but than I was also told that Raptor Cap was too…

RaptorCap was a sponcer for a while here on the forum. There was several contests to win a cap or a shield...
Their product was good.  Just needed to update the product line...

I made a sunshade for my 1198 and 898 at my shop, I used .090 ABS, I have a heated ABS bender, used small 1/2" wide velcro to hold it onto the unit itself. I'll try and post pictures. I have drawn up a sheild in CAD to cut out an aluminum one on my CNC plasma but havent had the time yet, my shops slammed. I'll do a test cut n fit and see how it turns out.
