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... :)

Actually, I get to be anchor, rope and strap biotch, "a little more, keep going, good" launch the boat girl, walk the boat down the pier girl, get me a beer girl, get me my remote control boat girl, turn up the radio, turn down the radio (thank god for the controls on the swim platform) and look out for the crab pot girl!!! :D I wish I could just sit! Oh yeah, I forgot, go park the truck/trailer and go get it when we get back in girl!

All he has to do is drive the boat and play with the buttons on the GPS!!!

It has been a rough start this year! We haven't been out as much as we would have liked. We are going to try this Saturday. I am just worried about the debris in the Potomac River down here.

How about you guys? Any damage, flooding, etc?
