Pictures of your Fish Finder and where it's mounted

Homeskillet · Post by **Homeskillet** » Sun Mar 15, 2020 12:28 pm

I want to get one for my 220 but I don't want to sacrifice the fit n finish of my console area, if possible (I won't get one if there are no examples of a clean, professional looking install). I would love to see where some of you mounted yours if you don't mind sharing. Not looking for a 10 or 12 inch screen. Probably no more than a 5 incher. Any thoughts about doing this are also welcome. Thx!

I just climbed in my 220 and attempted to figure out where my mounting options are. Frankly, I really didn't see even one lol! But if any of you have one mounted somewhere, I'm all ears as to what brand, model and size... and also where you put it. I'm guessing the majority have their boats in storage and not readily available for pictures. That's okay too. I just thought I'd ask

Not the best picture but.
I use a ram mount on the lower dash to mount mine here.

Bfun - Thanks for the Pic! Quick queation: does your throttle control hit that at all at wot?

I just realized that location would block my stereo controller.

It's a little tight but the throttle doesn't hit.
If it blocks your remote then I'm not sure where to put it. Top center on the dash ? Some sort of windshield attachment?

SeaSucker has some pretty unique solutions. I used one on a previous boat to hold an Ipad that I used. (Flybridge boat, out of water and weather) It was seriously secure.

Yes they definitely have some nice stuff. I don't know tho... I think if I would have sat in the driver's seat BEFORE posting my question, I would not have posted it at all. Looks like everything is tucked in there nice and neat - and tight. The windshield is close to the top of the dash area, so it can't go upvthere. Seems like off to the side would be in the way for guests. And underneath, well, that makes it hard to use.

Probably just have to figure out how to use that depth finder that's on there, again. I hate that thing lol!!

Got an idea for mine...

The 3 graphs I'm looking at are all about the same size (5" screens). I really think if there is some way to put it right in front of the gas gauge, mounted on that black part, that might work. I rarely look at rpms because I'm never wot and trimming her out. Speedometer isn't real accurate anyway, and the graph will have sog, so I'll have my speed. Gas gauge, well I'll just crank my head a bit lol. What do you think???

The gas guage is the most important one to me. It goes from full to empty real fast

Can't you just mope it up off the garage floor and reuse it ?

Oh, and you should get that fitted.

I am looking at a 1 year old (used) Lowrance 7 Ti with the 3 and 1 transducer. But I haven't heard back from him yet.

I'm also thinking that I like the ram mount solution, where the ram mount goes somewhere on that black strip that is in the middle of my dash. Then I can tilt it where I want.

Ended up ordering a new Garmin 7 incher
