Mounting a GPS on a 288?
 

Was just curious to see how others have mounted a GPS on their 288's?!?!?!

Does anyone have any tips or pics?

I mounted mine here. it doesn't hide any gages when driving, but she's not that big neither. :D

Thanks for sharing. We have one of the bigger ones and it just doesn't seem to fit in anywhere! I guess we will figure something out!

I remember Bayley removed his radio and mounted his GPS right in the middle of the dash. The radio was mounted in the cabin with a small remote to control from the drivers seat. There are some pictures archived somewhere. Bayley has a 32 and therefore has more guages, so it should be much easier in a 288 since the layout is similar.

I don't have a better picture, but if you click on the picture it should blow up enough to see where I put my bigger GPS model 176 in my 32.

I would think if it fits here with 2 shifters and 2 throttles, it should definitely fit here in your 288.
I can take closer pics this weekend if you plan on putting it here.

Kanookster - I'll have Jimmy look at it but it may cover up the stereo controls right there. Thank you!

Holms - That would be exactly where Jimmy would want to put it but the compass gets right in the way! Thank you!

You guys are the best!

Thanks for your responses!

I mounted mine in the passenger dash panel. My co-pilot takes care of navigation duties and operates it just fine.. :)

Chris,

Thanks! I thought about over there but I do enough as it is!!! :D Besides, he likes to play with the buttons!!! :D

It looks like yours is the same size as the one that we got.

I guess we'll figure out something!

Thanks again!!!

Hope all is well with you guys!

I bet,,,, your job is to sit there and look fantastic right ??? :D

I like to play with the buttons also, and was thinking of moving it, but no matter where I put it on the drivers side, it seems it would block a gauge or clutter up the helm..

Been a real slow start to summer, :( ,, have a good one... :)
