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

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...

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.

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:

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.
