The 997c packs tons of functionality, lets you add advanced accessories, includes GPS chartplotter, and will revolutionize the way you fish.
The 997c SI Combo uses revolutionary 800 kHz side-imaging sonar with 180-degree coverage to 360 feet to either side and 150 feet down, as well as DualBeam PLUS sonar with 20- and 60-degree beams for both wider coverage and better bottom definition down to 1,500 feet. This unit includes accelerated real-time sonar and echo enhancement technology for the instant capture of action and the sensitivity to track a jig to over 70 feet, with a target separation of 2.5 inches. The 997c also has an external, 16-channel WAAS/EGNOS GPS receiver, and a built-in UniMap of USA inland lakes, rivers, and coastal areas. This unit's high-speed, micro-dynamic transducer is reliable to 70 mph, and includes water temperature and GPS speed.
The 997c has a brilliant 8-inch TFT LCD screen with 480 x 800 lines of resolution in full color for enhanced separation, and an adjustable backlight. This unit features dual microprocessors and a graphics co-processor for fast, smooth operation, networking capability, and chart recording to SD card with on-screen playback. The 997c SI Combo NVB (Navionics Value Bundle) also features programmable view presets, dual memory card expansion slots, plug-and-play compatibility with tons of upgrade accessories, and comes pre-loaded with Navionics Gold and HotMaps yet remains easy to operate.
The 997c includes a one-touch multi-level zoom, programmable view presets, and X-Press Menus for quickly accessing important controls. This fish finder features both fresh and saltwater options, instant update to immediately show setting changes, full screen and 3D chartplotter, and Freeze Frame to pause the display, as well as a man-overboard function to track back to that most important of spots.
The 997c comes with a transom mount transducer, and a tilt-and-swivel, quick-disconnect mount system, for Gimbal or in-dash mounting. This unit measures 11.25 x 6.75 x 4.25 inches (W x H x D) as a Gimbal mount, or when in-dash mounted requires three inches of clearance. For upgrades, this system is compatible with multiple other transducers for more powerful performance.

Fishermen's Best Friend!,
By Soggy "The Lone Fisherman" (North Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Humminbird 997c SI Combo NVB 8-Inch Waterproof Marine GPS and Chartplotter (Navionics Gold and HotMaps Premium Charts Pre-loaded) (Electronics)
This Side Imaging sonar is everything it claims to be. It is great. I put it on a Ram Mount so that I could see it both from the drivers seat or front of the boat while bass fishing. If you need help finding good fishing structure, this is the only tool you need. If you know some structure exists, but can't find it with a downlooking sonar, this unit will find your structure. I love it. Great Price, Shipped Fast, Works Perfect. Look up once in a while to see where everyone else is at on the lake, you can get mesmerized with it.

997C Problems,

This review is from: Humminbird 997c SI Combo NVB 8-Inch Waterproof Marine GPS and Chartplotter (Navionics Gold and HotMaps Premium Charts Pre-loaded) (Electronics)
I purchased one of the very first 997C units. I waited six months for the release. I have also purchased two of the Cannon Mag20 DT's that can be controlled by the 997C.
The head unit has been back to the factory twice and both of the Mag20 DT's have been back to the factory. I have had to take the boat apart twice to install a new transducer and then to install a new connecting cable between the two Mag20's. All of this has taken over a year. The last component that the factory had me replace was the CannonLink. The system still does not work and the factory is stumped. I have been waiting over three weeks for them to get back to me with what they want to try next. I do believe that if everything worked it would be a great fishing package, but with all of the frustrations I have experienced I am about ready to junk the system and try something else. PS. I have over $4,000 invested in this system.

I am very satisified with my 997. I have had it over a year now and it is everything I wanted it to be. It has excellent side imaging, down imaging, and is truly big enough to run split screens and see both screens. I love the fact that HB offers online updates to the unit so it continues to have all the same functions as the new units coming out every year. I liked it so much I put a smaller HB side image on my trolling motor. I have caught fish I would not have caught otherwise. I fish for striper, crappie, and catfish. For Crappie, it is a must finding underwater structure that is just covered in crappie where as before, I could see the structure but you truly could not tell brances from fish, now I can. I don't fish a tree anymore if it is not holding fish.
