Big shout out to Bill M for a great deal and for updating this unit before I got my hands on it . This thing is huge for me . Same width as the crate . The addition of a thumb screw clip on the back ,makes all the wires neat when I pack it away. I just left the gps puck in the crate today ,worked just fine, but will make a holder that will clip on the crate. Transducer holder was spot on. I can angle it any way I want to pick up the lure in the current. I will change out the top bolt for a hand knob, so I do not end up dropping the small wrench down to the bottom .
The only thing I found when I fired it up,I did not have my spots I saved from the other unit . It is the same chip I have been using. Must be an upload thing I can do,or this is what happens ? Should of brought the chip with me when I picked the unit up .
Now I will pack the 598 away as a full time ice unit .
Oh I am happy happy.
PS..................
When you get tired of the new 56" wide screens you have now Bill ( which are amazing WOW ) I might be able to fit one on the float boat. LOL
Thanks again bud.
Good luck with those musky.
Lemon chicken, corn cob and tater salad. Simple as it gets. Have not had lemon chicken over charcoal in a long time. It was a fav as a kid. Pop made it many tines when we had picnic days at 6 Mile Lake. Those were the days,,,,,,,
