fishfinder dilema

[martinw]

im in a dilemsa as to where to mount my fishfinder, if you look at the 1st pic theres a small pointless recess at the top of the centre console just above the cup/bottle holder.



and as you can see in the second pic the fishfinder mount wont sit on or on top of it properly


it looks like im going to have to make some sort of bracket for it to sit on, but before i do has anyone else come accross this problem? and if so is there any other ways round it? i dont want to mount it where the tackle box sits in fear of kicking it getting on and off the yak.

georgie, i know you have ordered the same finder, and dont know wether you'll have the same problem.

any ideas

if you use one of these then the hole thing detaches and will not be in the way

I have just measured my p13 and the bracket is 7mm to big so you will have to modify the base bracket ,sorry

Martin , that pointless recess is designed to accept the mounting bracket for the range of Scotty rod holders.
