I'm getting myself confused over connecting different humminbird units and modules and what data can be shared and what can't. Hopefully some of you guys can help me out!

Say I have a 998C, a 958C and a minn kota ipilot link and 1 GPS antenna. What's the best way to network these all together? Do I need an individual transducer for both the 998 and the 958 or is it possible to run the 958 off the 998's transducer? Is the AS ETH 5PS 5-port ethernet switch all I need or do I also need the AS Interlink?

Do both units have Ethernet capabilities? If so you will need the 5 port switch and a cable and will not need the Interlink. I think you would want a transducer on the trolling motor and one on the stern.

Imo the best way is to use Ethernet cables to link the units together if they both units have the Ethernet connection. I know you can use one transducer with Ethernet. Not sure if you can with interlink. If you use the I-link you have to use Ethernet and have sonar units with the Ethernet connections. Interlink will not work for I-link. I'm not sure if you need the port for I-link or not but I do know you need the new 2013 lakemaster chips to use the follow the contour feature.
