    Switching electronics Lowrance to Bird

    Looking for how you did it suggestions. I have a 2014 520c with in dash console mounted HDS Gen 2 12 touch and a HDS Gen 2 9 touch mounted flush at the bow. I am going with a Onix 12 at bow and an Onix 10 at console.,I think. I may switch positions and put the 12 at console and 10 at bow, haven't fully decided that yet. How would you mount them? in dash: on some sorta electronics mount? I as well have to remove the LLS 2 mounted on the step How did you fill those holes? Where did you mount the Humminbird side scan. Or did you mount yours on the step?

    My two cents are leave the LSS alone, you may switch back one day. I’d put the bigger screen at the bow as it will be the furthest from your eyes. There are multiple options as far as mounting, I’ll leave that up to you. But if were me, I would keep the HDS in the console and RAM mount the bird. Nothing wrong with running mixed electronics. I do it.

    Why would you want to switch to Onix's? They are crappy
