Worked with Steve at Bull Shoals Lake Boat Dock and Jason at BCB and couldnt have been more pleased. Even took a tour of how these babies are made with Jason. As far as the setup goes, I think I got everything I would ever need to catch fish.

Colors will be almost identical to this Puma I saw on Sherms web site Last edited by mach316 on February 26th, 2012, 11:33 pm, edited 1 time in total.

More than likely I will keep it in place and run it with my 898 using the same antenna. I makes are to only run Sonar on the 787 and use my 898 for Gps and scanning.B, should i upgrade to 2 898s? I was reading that the 898 was compatible with the Navionics Platinum and the 798 was not. Just wondering if I should go ahead and upgrade the front unit to run the platinum over having to buy 2 chips. Thanks..

You can not run DI off the US2 because it is only a 200Khz or 200Khz/83Khz (Duel Beam Plus) transducer.http://www.minnkotamotors.com/advantage … ectionID=4I suggest you use the transducer you will get with the 798 and mount it to the foot of the trolling motor so you have SI/DI at the bow and are reading from a transducer at the trolling motor.Here is a link to the Transducer that comes with the 798sihttp://store.humminbird.com/products/31 … 06bc4e8eeaHope this answered your questionsJameyGood idea Jamey. Whats your thoughts on the 2 898s as asked above. Thanks for all the input!!

Thanks for all the info guys. Ill keep yall posted how things go.

Well, it was a long haul to go see Steve at Bull Shoals but they figured it out and had me running in no time. A spring that holds tension on one of the belts was broken. Not sure how the heck a 1/4 ” spring broke on a motor with 5 hours but it happened. Needless to say, it is up and running now and will hopefully not give me any more trouble. Thanks for all the suggestions. Ill definitely be coming back here for info concerning my BCB! On another note, while I was in the area, I swung by BCB and met with Rick. I told him of my issues I had been having with trolling motor interference with my graph. He jumped right on it and hopefull has me fixed up with that also (they added a groud wire to the skeg btw) Overall a good trip and am happy with the service I received.Last edited by mach316 on June 9th, 2012, 2:28 am, edited 1 time in total.
