Hey everyone,
I have a 2005 Reata 180vs. I currently ahve it set up with a 1199 at the dash on a ram mount and a 1199 at the bow. WHen i bought my boat it had a 5" lowrance flush mounted in the dash. I ended up removing this to clear up some room and have a cleaner look. I would like to mount a Helix 5 or 7 if there is enough room where I removed the lowrance. I would like to use the helix as my GPS map at all times to have more screen room for SI on my 1199.
Has anyone flush mounted a helix 5/7 in their reata or fishNski? If so, what did you need to have in order to flush mount it, and how did you install it? I currently have a hole where the 5" lowrance was, so I am planning on modifying the size hole to hit a helix, and them using a metal/plastic plate cutout to fit around the helix once installed for a clean look.
If anyone has any advice, that would be great. Pictures would be even better.
I have attached a photo of my dash when the lowrance was in there to show you what I am working with.
Thanks!
