Cable for what?
No cable is needed to install the LakeMaster mapping card into your Humminbird unit.

Yeah, just open the little door on the lower right side of your 898 and push the lakemaster card in one of those slots.

Did you power off the unit and then put the card in and then power on. Sometimes these units do not recognize the card after the unit is powered on...dont know if this is your particular case but try it anyway.
Also does the card read in your computer. It (the pc) should give you card info: filename, size type, etc. 
If the computer does not read then the card may be bad.
