Just installed the Garmin 546s on mine. Not cheap, but very detailed with a ton of options.

Hi, Can anyone recommend a Portable Fish Finder/GPS and Plot charter unit and give me an idea how it really works? I am looking at the Hummingbird 407710-1-FISH FINDER, 385CI COMBO, has anyone had any experience with it? what I don't want to do is to go through fixing one in permanently not to damage the boat and go through the hastle. Thanks, Mike |

Looks good. That really is the way to go. The longer you are going to keep the boat, the more I would think of a fixed mount. |

The mount really only required 4 screws and some 4200. Could be removed. With my helm, there was no other way. Some of the newer models (and bigger models) have a cupholder up to the right of the gauges and many mount in there which is a easy way to make a permanent and removable mount. If I upgraded the boat, the GPS would come with me. I would just make something to cover that area. One of the "warning" decals would fit there well LOL! |

Thanks for that. I was thinking the fixed route would be the best off course but just hated to put holes in her but the cup holder idea is not bad. mine is a 2008 H240 and the cup location below the dash is just a bit useless so maybe I will mount it there if it would be accessible. I definately want the Fish finder/GPS/Chart plotter combo though because I'm here in Dubai and there are so many little islands that we can go to spend the night and fish. |
