I have one I just put one on my boat, I had to buy a transducer and a GPS antenna. The FF works fine but the GPS test keeps saying GPS unconnected. I checked with Hummingbird and the Antenna is correct. The AS-GR16 antenna came with a short Y wire that I did not use. I just ran the wire from the antenna to the back of the unit. Do I need something else to get this working?

Thanks

Sounds like a bad GPS to me.

I have an 898C-si with the same Y connector. Mine worked fine for the first two weeks then stopped. Humminbird sent me an exchange; that one has been working for a year with no problems. 'bird will send you an exchange, only charge you if you don't send the old one back to them. Saves time over sending the entire unit in like they want you to do.

You aren't supposed to do anything with the pigtail lead on the "Y", by the way. I wouldn't even pull off the heat shrink to look at the wire colors like the instructions say to do.

How bout does anyone know were I can get this checked out besides Hummingbird they want Like $170.00 to look at it. Be nice if it was close by.

Thanks
