humming bird 598 fish finder with side imaging... need help

well I'm so happy!!!!!! just bought a PA 14 so i bought a new ( last year model ) 598 humming bird with side imaging . i want to get it installed and have it professionally installed . i bought the battery kit ram mount ( i think it goes over the side of the yak) can anyone give me some pointer or tips , from past experience ? I'm trying to get this bad boy up and running .. I took it out last weekend ... Omg it actually went faster than i expected it too .... i can not wiat for it to cool down so i can enjoy it a little more!! i put my yeti cooler behind the seat. my son and we fished and had a blast,,,, any advice on installing the fish finder would be awesome !!!!!!!! thanks ya all!!!!!!!

I have had several Humminbird side imaging FF/GPS down and side imaging combo units and I prefer the down imaging units. It is just easier for me to figure out what I am looking at with a DI unit compared to a SI unit. The best thing to learn how to use the unit is to just turn it on and play with all the features and tweak it to how you want it. I like to keep the screen up that shows the battery voltage so I can keep track of how the battery is doing.
