I just bought a 998 on clearance, awesome detail, I had never used side/down
imaging before and it was money well spent. I put it on my 17' center console 2 weeks ago (not an easy install). After a couple small trips with it I took a big trip Memorial Day weekend. Half way thru this trip the GPS shut down, it would not recognize the GPS receiver. I had to send the unit and receiver back to Humminbird (the transducer stayed on the boat). I did not want to be missing some prime fishing with it so I offered to buy a new receiver. They could refund this purchase after they receive my old one and see it is busted. They could not do this because new GPS receivers are backordered and a repair of the old one would have been faster. I now see why the new units have internal receivers.
