    Ranger RT188 graphs how are you boys mounting these big graphs like a Helix 10

    At the console of the RT188? It's pretty tight. RAM mount? Console bracket mount?

    Console bracket. I made mine myself but Precision Sonar, Bass Boat Technology, and Dek-It all make mounts.

    I have two Helix 10's at the dash of my RT. I added the spacer to the steering wheel and it has not caused any issues at all. I'm 6' 4" and 300 lbs.

    On the new RT's with hydraulic steering, there's a spacer already installed on the steering column. Should make it easier for a console mount installation.

    I custom built mine similar to a Precision Sonar and didn't need a spacer.

    I know this is an old thread, but I used this information to help me make my decision. This is what I ended up with. 2018 ranger rt188 with 2 helix 10’s on a precision sonar mount. I love the P.S. mount, worth every penny.

    The Helix 10 is pretty hard to beat on a Precision Sonar Mount.

    I literally just asked this question last week, and I called Randy over at Precision Sonar and got his console and bow mount. Ordered on a Friday and Received it Tuesday.

    I RAM mounted mine to the side. works fine. May be about to sell the RT188 anyway, so it may not matter
