Title: Not sure which one to put op front? 998C HD SI or 898C DI SI
Post by: WI Bad Bass on February 22, 2014, 04:14:46 PM

Thinking of picking up the 898 for cheap,$700 and putting at the bow, but I see it is not a HD model. Being that it will we point up at me, should the HD 998 be put up front?  Have not put the 998 on boat yet. Both would have SI so does it matter which one goes where?

The bow unit will normally be farther away from your eyes...so the LED backlit 998 HD would be beneficial there..

The extra 1" of screen will also be beneficial farther away from your eyes at the bow station...
