I would like to know if there is is any gps (waypoint) accuracy increase or reduction between a 998C SI bought last year with external antennea and a new (same model) Humminbird with the internal antennea? Thanks, Brantley

Dude, Dude, Dude, I don't know what shop you are dealing with but it may be time to find a authorized , EXPERIENCED , MERCURY mechanic. As far a guesses, it seemed you were on the right track when you changed coils on the stator since you stated you had an improvement from 2000 RPM to 4000...

The Army Corp Of Engineers who oversee the Clarks Hill Lake have been shutting down all the ramps located inside their camping areas for years. Some of the best ramps with the new expensive aluminum docks are closed after Oct. 1st until sometime in March. It's a shame that taxpayers money...
