I have really enjoyed reading the topics in this forum.
Haven't yet received my 898, should be delivered today.
It will be installed on my 1956 model Lonestar 14' Aluminum boat.
I built a bracket that moved the motor 4" aft of the transom believing that will give
me clearance for the SI feature.
I am eagerly anticipating searching my local lakes for new structures and fish.
Thanks to all who have provided information here.
cheers,
Paul
