New HB 798 ciSI installation

[Cottontop]

I just got a new HB 798 ci SI. I have a 2010 Tracker ProTeam 175. How hard will it be to install. Should I get professional help? If so, who would you guys reccomend? Thanks

I had a tracker tx17 with a 90merc. Pulled three transducers off. After calling Hummingbird engineering suppport. Moved transducer to left rear to prevent steering torque and high up to prevent it from being ripped off no problems. Keep in mind its a skimmer and you may need to tilt motor to see side image on both sides. If you have a jack plate place it on the jackplate for best results. Hope this helps. If you need any more help just drop me an E-mail.Its a lot of trouble but once done its worth it.

I have a Tracker also with a 798 at the console. I was going to install it myself but decided against it. Took it to Island Cove Outdoor Center (where I bought the boat) and had them install it for me. I've not had any issues with the unit or the installation.

Mind telling me the cost for the installation?

I ordered mine through Tom at Fisn n Fun and they installed it for me as well. Their price was low enough that the installation included pretty much matched any catalog price for a 798.
