    USA Can a Helix 12 fit in the dash of a 2013 Z8?

    Anyone have any idea? Thanks!

    Have you checked the installation template on Humminbird Website? It will give dimensions. I would recommend an external mount similar to Precision Sonar Smart mount. I currently use that with a Helix 12 on my Z8 and is really solid. I understand not the same thing but just a suggestion.

    I second the recommendation for Precision Sonar mounts. This is my Z18 with a Helix 10 mounted on a Precision console mount, and another Helix 10 on a Ram swing mount.

    This is a Helix 12 on 2014 Z8 and is not flush mounted but may give you an idea on the Helix size.

    Thank you for the replies everyone. Ended up getting a Helix 10 SI gen 1 from Brian at BBG for a great price.
