I'm putting a few toys on my 42 Lightning and I want to set her up with a nice GPS.

The removable panel Fountain gives is so skinny (vertically) that I don't think I can find a screen small enough to fit. I hesitate to put in a bracket mount with the concern that it will try to bounce all over the place in rough water.... although the built in antenna would be a big plus.

Do you guys use bracket mounts?

Thanks for the input.

How big is the panel??

Panel is 6 inches high, but maybe 5 or so clear space behind.

Navman 5500I best deal around I bought mine from Brokenlegdave with the rebate its about $300 for a color plotter and yes i use the bracket.

garmin 276c, don't know the space available.
But the mount is on good.

Have a Garmin 182C mounted on a bracket, no problems

How is it? I bought the same one with a new chip and the fuel monitor thingy but haven't got the GPS yet.

I was limited on space and went with the lowrance m68c which is a combo gps/depth sounder and very compact. Can mount on top of dash or in dash flush mount. Pretty neat setup if you don't have a lot of room..... I have it on top of the dash with velcro right now and am planning on flush mounting it when I redo the dash next winter. You can get the cutout template from their website and they have a gasket you can buy if you flush mount it.

Good luck!!!

We have the 182c and it works great...should have bought it years ago...

How does this compare to the Garman 182c?
