    Well crap !

    I have Garmin livescope on my new 21 SDC, the dealer mounted the black box under the front deck next to or in front of the recessed tray, now I cannot get any rods in it, maybe 6 footers only. Not sure how hard it will be to move it but I have to have that box for rods, not near enough room in the starboard rod box. I guess it could be mounted in the port rod box, anyone else had this problem ?

    I have a 21XDC and have it mounted in center box. Different layout but should be very easy to move to left or right boxes.

    Good deal, I need to bring back to dealer to install a keel guard and hopefully a new Ghost trolling motor, thanks.

    I mounted mine under the troller pedal tray on the left wall of the middle box. I use it for tackle and put my rods in the port side box. Have it moved to right wall in the middle box, should be an easy fix if they left enough power wire slack.

    Well I was wondering the same thing, I guess they figured I had plenty of room in the port locker, they just do not know that I like to carry 20-25 rods.

    That's sour I would think they would ask you where you want it.

    Talked with the dealer yesterday, he said he thought the center box was just for tackle because there were no rod tubes, anyway he said he would remount it when I bring it back to have keel guard installed, all good.

    Oh I know it would work that way, I just like having my favorite 6 rods in the one box, don't want to have to dig for them, plus I paid good money for both rod organizers.

    That is where he is going to mount it.
