Default Garmin GPSMAP 740S Upgrade

Prices on these have come way down and I'm considering an upgrade from the one I use now. My concern is if I can reconfigure my dash to make it fit. If any one has a GPSMAP 740S installed in their dash on a later model Fastech would you mind posting a picture or two so I can see how it looks and fits.

Thanks Dave[ATTACH=CONFIG]516018[/ATTACH]

Last Winter I flush mounted a 740 in my dash, but I have a 271 so you have more gauges on your dash. To make it a clean fit, you will most likely have to lose the speedo. I had to cut and powder coat a new piece of aluminum, but it looks factory. Next time I am down to the shop I will grab a few pics of the dash... Lost the old phone with all the pics of the entire installation process.

I did it on my fountain. Lost the depth gauge, and speedo which are not needed once you have the 740s.
