I put my boat in storage for winter and then had the bright idea of buying electronics for my boat without having actually measured how much room I had. I just went from some pictures and 'memory'. Well. I ended up buying some cool stuff, and I think I am happy with how I will mount it... well you tell me if im crazy.
How does everyone mount GPS/Sonar/VHF stuff on Sea Ray sport boats? I figured my 240 Select would be plenty big for my Garmin 840 and Standard Horizon GPS GX1700. The VHF is pretty small, but the Garmin is friggen huge. I should have gone with the 741, but its not a huge amount smaller even then.
Lets see some pictures. Maybe I am just crazy. I dont have my VHF mounted yet, but I think it will just go to the right of my Garmin. I made a mount out of some mahogany, bolts up through the fiberglass in two spots. Removed the compass. I have a little cover with a grommet in it that the cabling can go through. I think it ended up pretty clean.
