Title: 1198si & PC-10 Compatability?
Post by: BCLII on November 23, 2012, 09:42:01 PM: I was wondering if I could use a pc-10 power cord with my 1198si. It would only be used on the bench in the shop this winter for GPS maping/waypoints. I had an extra pc-10 cord and did not want to buy a pc-11 if I did not have too.
thanks

Right, the PC-11 uses 18 AWG wiring while the PC-10 uses 22 AWG wiring. Difference is in the current carrying capability of the wire. With the sonar shut off though I think that you will be fine.
