i got a pretty good deal on one from internet . hummingbird 898 si . one thing i must let you know , with side imaging , the transducer must be in the water with nothing blocking it. i installed it using madfrog sys. one negative is that it creates noticable drag. the transducer is a lot bigger that most. i mounted it well in front of peddles. it can be installed possibly on rudder, but it may take more abuse . i also read it may want to weathercock the yak. i am still new with reading and understanding the fishfinder in general. needless to say great unit. smaller screen might be a little more appropiate. but it is a nice image . i am using 10 a to run it. hopefully i can use it to see yellow blowing up next to me. i think i paid about 1300 for unit at christmas . runs for about 1400 or 1500. ouch. goodluck. pm if anymore ?s
