    RT188P Dual Bow Mount Setups

    I’m picking up a new to me 2020 RT188P on Tuesday. The boat currently has an hds9 flush mounted in the consol and bow. I want to run two graphs on the bow on a mount and was just hoping to see some setup’s people are running.

    198P, but very similar. I have a Livescanner True Scan on its way for an Active Target transducer also. I also added the SeaClear wiring harness and Upgraded to Ionic Lithium batteries. The SeaClear harness is a must. It dramatically increased and enhanced the images on the downscan etc.

    I would run a bbt mount up front for 2 graphs if I ever add live sonar to my boat again. I had it on my last boat and didn't find myself using it that much. But the bbt mounts are well made. I have their mount on my console and love it.

    If cost is a concern I would recommend a Str8 Up Mount. Im running a Garmin 93SV and a Hummingbird Helix 9 and it has been great so far. I just installed earlier this year but its plenty solid for me.
