I have a 998c SI installed on my console, can you buy somthing in the 800 series without a transducer that i could link to my 998? To mount on my bow...

[Gator]

i would like to share the transom mounted SI transducer between the units and hook up the US2 in my terrova to the bow mounted unit. is this possible?

Yes you could.
Depending on what sonar you want to share will dictate which 800 series unit you will have to purchase:
 - If you want the Si and or Di sonar from the transom mounted HDSi transducer up front; your only choice is the 898c Si unit.  Be sure to set the Transducer Select/Connected Transducer menu to the “Universal Sonar 2” setting when using the Terrova’s transducer and back again to the “Hi-Def Sidescan” setting when using the sonar data from the 898c Si unit.
 - If you only want the 2D sonar from the transom mounted HDSi transducer up front; you will need the 858c model unit.
To buy a unit minus the transducer, you need to look for a “CHO” designated unit (Example: “898c Si CHO”).

If Gator links to his 998, will he be able to view the Navionics map from his 998?  I am guessing that he will only be able to view everything else.

No George, mapping data cannot be shared between units.

Thank you Greg.
