I have I-Pilot link networked to a 998SI. The 998 can see the I-pilot but when I attempt to start the follow the contour nothing happens. Any ideas?

Did you start the prop?

Not even getting that far. I'm not seeing the choice of direction popping up
1. use the cursor to the contour you would like to follkow
2. press the "go to" button
3. Select follow contour (sometimes it takes a second for the menu to come up)
4. Pick which direction you would like to go
5. Make sure you prop is on. Look at your remote control and press the prop button if its not on
#3 never comes up. I never get the small box up in the corner that gives you the options to choice a direction.
Are you running the latest software version 7.67?

Yes, both the link and 998 are up to date
I have a 998 but haven't tried that function with it because I normally initiate it from a Helix model when I use it but infrequently. Takes a Lakemaster card or autochart generated map to work and I have only one local lake that is covered in HD. Must also be on a chart view to initiate with no other navigation initiated and within distance of contour. As a last resort might try resetting defaults on unit.

Is I-Link showing connected on the Humminbird?
Yes the Link is showing connected
My old 798 takes more like a 5 count before it appears, but this is exactly the method I use.
No way to try out of the water though.
The other things might be if both are not updated with latest software or a lakemaster card as stated above by ezfishn, I am out of suggestions.

Are you sure you are moving the cursor over the nearest contour line BEFORE pressing the "goto" button?
What map card are you using?

You are on the water near the contour correct?
I cant get the follow the contour promp to come up when I press the go to button...helix 12 DI ultrex link??..
Yeh, I'm at a lose as to why it doesn't work. As I said before , the only change from last year when it worked is the second unit in the network is now a helix 9 not an 898 but the 998 I'm using was at the console then too.
Just a reminder that the follow the contour option will not be displayed when the motor is on autopilot.
Now that I didn't check
Well that didn't work gues I need to call CS
