I'm planning on taking out the flush mount lowrance 9 and do a dual mount with a helix 12. I already have a power wire ran that's next to console by throttle. any tips or tricks to getting inside it? what all has to come apart? thanks.

I assume it’s just like the 188 I have. There are 6-8 Phillips screws holding the rubber cover on. It pulls off and you have access to all gauges and dash mounted graphs
thanks. Not looking forward to it but hate the flush mount especially when the sun is up high.Originally Posted by King31
I recently did a similar upgrade on my 198. Feel free to PM me for more info.
thanks. I will do that when get everything to do it
Easy Pleasy. 4 screws to remove the windshield and about 8 screws to remove the dash panel.
I have added extra gauges, (Volt, Trim, Jack Plate), so I did not have room for a 12" screen.
I had to remove my Helm to route a new transducer cable. It was a PITA.
Note my rig is a 2019.
Number one complaint was the factory wiring under the helm looked like SH%# to be honest.

hey how did you get that transducer cable ran through the console? I'm struggling
