Several weeks ago I posted about updating my Humminbird  998 units with the 6.6 version. I have not been on the water yet to try them out, but will soon. I have been reading about issues with this latest update on  Bassboat Central.com . I would suggest anyone considering any updates to get as much information as possible to see if they are really worthwhile.  I will try mine first and if I am not happy I can go back to the previous update(6.4).  I know the new update is for IPilot-link  which is something I am considering which is the reason I installed it in the first place. So just do your research first to save possible headaches later. I hope this helps.

Humminbird 998 v6.6 upgrade... Thanks Bobby for testing this for us. Let us know how that upgrade goes before we install it. Lots of us in the 998 club now.

Go Fish Yourself! <'')))>< ...Respectfully.

Permalink Submitted by Bstandiford on Sat, 03/30/2013 - 17:47.

Went to Prettyboy today, tested both units and was not happy with side image picture detail. Did not use down imaging much before due to transom mounted transducer. Now that I have one on the trolling motor I used it most of the day and was somewhat disappointed. It seems to work better when boat was moving, like side- imaging. I thought it was supposed to work with boat sitting still, like 2-D. So when I got home I went back to my previous updates. Will keep you posted. By the way I did not catch any fish. Water temp. 42.- 45f

After trying the units with the 6.6 updates I was not happy with the results. Image quality on SI as well as DI. I did go back to the 6.1 update which was the last one installed and after 2 trips out I am pleased with the results. The clarity is what I expect from these units or as Humminbird says " Simply Clearly Better "
