Humminbird 998C SI Review

With up to 8000w of PTP power output, the Humminbird 998C SI equips the angler with the tools needed to ensure success. SwitchFire Sonar lets you alter the returns you receive based on the fishing and water conditions that exist. Know the size of your potential catch with Selective Fish ID. Get clear detail with split screen zoom capabilities. Combine the technology with an interface that is customizable for your preferences and you will be fishing like a pro.

Always know exactly where you have been with the GPS Chartplotting on the 998C SI. View routes, waypoints and your personal track easily with data or the included map. Explore any of 3,000 lakes in detail with the built-in Contour XD. Examine underwater features that include depth contours to bring you straight to the fish you want to track. Save your waypoints or take advantage of additional mapcards using the dual card slots.

Take a 180 degree view around your boat with Side Imaging and Down Imaging. Watch as sonar snapshots are created that detail what lies directly underneath you and up to 240ft on either side. When these snapshots are combined they give you a bird’s eye view of the fish, structures and bottom that surround your boat.

DualBeam plus Sonar makes the 998C SI ideal for shallow or deep water expeditions. The 20 degree beam and 60 degree beam, when viewed separately, will give you an accurate bottom profile. Increase the coverage of that profile and acquire the best picture by combining the beams together. View returns of structure and fish up to 1500ft deep. For those deep water excursions, add an optional transducer and increase your coverage to 3000ft deep.

The brilliant display offered by the 998C SI will be like a second pair of eyes into the underwater world. The 8” color screen displays your returns in a wide screen 480 X 800 resolution. This gives you images with the same high quality as any photo would offer. Enjoy your nighttime excursions with the use of the CCFL backlight.
