Re: Attention Top Gun Owners
 

I am going to do this...with a 492c

Re: Attention Top Gun Owners
 

That looks great birdog, but my compass takes up that area. The dash will be redone at some point, but for now that area is too tight

Re: Attention Top Gun Owners
 

You don't need no stinkin' compass!!!! :D :evilb: :D :evilb:

Re: Attention Top Gun Owners
 

I mounted a 276c next to steering wheel on the swivel base. Work well and didnt clutter dash on my last TG

Re: Attention Top Gun Owners
 

me too

Re: Attention Top Gun Owners
 

Ya just use one of these!!!! :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Attention Top Gun Owners
 

Pete,

Do like birdog's pic... Take that compas out and put this 2006c in its place. This 2006c is the one I just bought and Bob is installing...

Re: Attention Top Gun Owners
 

i would put right above the cabin door, easy for you to read an co pilot

Re: Attention Top Gun Owners
 

No I sold that boat. Had to make a round 3/4" block to put under swivel mount to bring the base awy from helm a little. It is easy to install and doesnt mess the looks of dash up. I won it at our poker run and it ended up working perfect.

Re: Attention Top Gun Owners
 

Thats what i thought...It's gone !! :D
I have a back-up handheld GPS & a handheld Compass..I'm covered...I need that chart CLOSE !! :D

Re: Attention Top Gun Owners
 

Any recommendations on handhelds with cards?

Re: Attention Top Gun Owners
 

I have a 276 but, the screen is just to small to see when running....My eyes
are shot tho.... :D

Re: Attention Top Gun Owners
 

They look real nice mounted right over the cabin entrance. If I ever get around to getting a GPS that's where I'll throw it :drink:

Re: Attention Top Gun Owners
 

That's where mine is.

Re: Attention Top Gun Owners
 

WOW 2 fifteen foot screens!!!!

Re: Attention Top Gun Owners
 

That will work for the poor soles who didnt buy a Lipship edition. :p

It is easier to just buy a newer boat :evilb:

Re: Attention Top Gun Owners
 

I would need a 20" screen to see it over there !... :D

Re: Attention Top Gun Owners
 

I prefer the 182C well within reach and line of sight.

Re: Attention Top Gun Owners
 

Thats not a bad spot, wheres the 'shroom mount?

Re: Attention Top Gun Owners
 

I also have a chart ploter above the cabin door
both of them can be hard to read in derect sun light if your are standing at the wheel you can see it but the pasengers have a hard time I like both of them

Re: Attention Top Gun Owners
 

Where are you going to mount the transit and landing lights for you to put your rig on the trailer?




:D

Re: Attention Top Gun Owners
 

Same place you got yours :D

Re: Attention Top Gun Owners
 

Underneath the deck, forward in the bow section, mounted on the inside of the bulkhead behind the mirror. Out of sight and works perfectly. It may take a few more seconds to initialize but once it does it os OK.
