Humminbird and ipilot link question

Just bought a new Larson 2020 loaded to the gills. But it has the ipilot link on it and 2 HD10's. I have a humminbird 858 with just Sonar and GPS. Will that link up with the ipilot or do I need to get a different unit?

Thank you

Iceman

the 858 will work. as far as I know as long as the unit has ethernet capabilities it will work. this model should have a place on it's back to hook up the cable directly. there are some models like the 700 series and the new 859, 959, 899, 999 or 1199 that need the ethernet adapter.

So if I were to buy an 859 I can't use it with an ipilot link without buying another widget for more money?

That seems sort of a rip.

this adapter you would need is only a extra $30.00 so it is not to bad but I get your point of having to buy a extra part to get it hooked up. I was told the idea behind this was so that the units are easier to move on or off the boat and other locations in the boat. last years 800, 900, 1100 series had it so the ethernet cable would hook right to the unit directly and it was not a part of the gang plug that is made up of the power cord and transducer cord and GPS cord(since they were external GPS on these units). this additional adapter cable is now part of the gang plug. it's a pain to have to buy this extra cable but it's not that bad if you look at the greater picture.

      Problems with Yetti

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
