Anyone have any good ideas of where to mount a GPS/Fish finder combo unit in a 2008 H200? Shan |

I'm looking for a solution to this problem, too. I found one guy who had installed it in the dash where the cubby hole is, and I think this would be ideal, but am having a hard time finding a unit that is suitable that is the correct size that is also flush-mountable. Please let me know what you find out in your search, because this is important to me to get it right. So far, I'm looking at a Garmin GPSMAP 3005C. It's bigger than the hole, but I don't think it's bigger than it can be. I'll need to do a little cutting, though, which bothers me a little. My other plan if I can't find the perfect plotter, is to simply get a handheld and suction cup mount for the windshield. |

Your best bet for easy visibility on that boat is in the corner of the windshield. I would suggest a slick RAM style mount to work with. http://www.ram-mount.com/ Suction cups on the windshield are not the greatest solution unless you are always going to pull the equipment and lock it up. |

The ram mounts appear to be what I am looking for. Look at the mount listed under marine electronics. I am thinking of mounting it off the right side just above the side cushion (May have to trim the cushion - not sure, as I don't get the boat till april or may). The GPS unit can then angle upwards just above the right side of the dash. I do not want to mount it into the cubby, I think having to look down and around the steering wheel to see the GPS would be a pain. I will let you know more when I get the boat. Can't Wait!!! |
